Bill > S08787

This bill, concerning welfare, medical, and retirement plans for participants in harness racing, mandates that if a contract between a licensed harness racing corporation or association and the representative horsemen's organization (an organization representing the interests of horsemen) is not in place, the terms of the previous contract related to these plans will automatically extend for a single period of twelve months starting from the expiration date of the prior agreement. This extension applies to the provision of welfare, medical, or retirement benefits and any associated costs, with payments to be made monthly from a portion of video lottery gaming revenue designated for horsemen's purses.
