However, if there is no applicant that the commission deems eligible at
the time such license is effective, then the commission may by resol-
ution extend the time period for the acceptance of additional license
applications for up to one year. If a license is not issued, the failure
to award a license in any region shall not delay the issuance of other
licenses, provided, however that no second license shall be issued until
the first license is effective.
(c) Within thirty days after the deadline has passed for the
submission of applications, the commission shall schedule a public hear-
ing in a county in which an applicant proposes to locate a casino gambl-

Such board shall be comprised of five individuals
appointed by majority vote of the commission. Board members shall have
expertise in the fields of real estate or finance or both. Board members

independently evaluate each application for fiscal integrity, in an
effort to maximize revenue for the state. The financial advisor shall
receive compensation in an amount fixed by the commission within the
amounts appropriated therefore. Board members shall serve without
compensation, but shall be reimbursed for their reasonable and necessary
expenses. The board shall recommend, by majority vote, an applicant for
each license based upon the criteria set forth in this chapter, and
shall transmit such recommendation to the commission. The board shall
have the full assistance of the commission in its review and investi-
gation of the applications. In the event such applicant is unable to be
licensed, pursuant to subdivision two of section thirteen hundred three
of this article the board shall be noticed to recommend another appli-
cant from among the applications received. Upon recommendation of the
final applicant for the seventh license, such board shall be dissolved.

(c) In the event that a licensee fails to operate the casino gambling
facility in accordance with these provisions or fails to comply with
other terms of the license, the commission shall be empowered to revoke
the license of any entity, member or officer of the casino gambling
facility. The commission shall take such action as is necessary to
assure the continuation of the gaming activities at the casino gambling
facility in accordance with the terms and conditions of the license.

provided in subdivision one of this section, that the amount to be
contributed to primary and secondary education shall be no less than the
amount paid by the video lottery gaming vendor licensed to operate in
Queens county in the year preceding such a casino gambling facility's

licensed in Queens county, the revenues shall be distributed as follows:
Sixty-five percent for elementary and secondary education;
Twenty percent to be deposited in the real property tax reduction
account created by section ninety-nine-v of the state finance law; and

ture for the same for the enhancement of purses and breeding and the
racing industry based on the amount of revenue derived from casino
gambling versus revenue from video lottery terminals in the year two
thousand thirteen, taking into account the overall growth, if any, of
the horse racing and breeding industry in New York state. Nothing here-
in, however, shall permit any payments to education to be diminished
below their two thousand thirteen levels as provided for through video
lottery terminals. The report shall, prior to being issued in final
form, be subject to a public hearing at which interested parties from
the agricultural industry and those engaged in the racing of horses and
the support workers associated with the horse racing industry, or their
representatives, shall be permitted to testify. Such report shall be
issued not later than January first, two thousand fifteen.

with the labor organization can perform project work.
b. The gaming commission shall require a gaming facility or contractor
thereof awarded a contract, subcontract, lease, grant, bond, covenant or

sion determines that the record supporting the decision to enter into
such an agreement establishes that the interests of the state are best
met by requiring a project labor agreement including: obtaining the best
work at the lowest possible price; preventing favoritism, fraud and
corruption; the impact of delay; the possibility of cost savings; and
any local history of labor unrest.
c. Any contract to which the gaming facility is a party, and any
contract entered into by a third party acting in place of, on behalf of
and for the benefit of the gaming facility pursuant to any lease, permit

labor law to the same extent as a contract of the state, and shall be
deemed public work for purposes of such article.
d. Every contract entered into by the gaming facility for a project
shall contain a provision that the contractor shall furnish a labor and
material bond guaranteeing prompt payment of moneys that are due to all

performance bond for the faithful performance of the project, which
shall conform to the provisions of section one hundred three-f of the
general municipal law, and that a copy of such performance and payment
bonds shall be kept by the gaming commission and shall be open to public
e. For the purposes of article fifteen-A of the executive law, any
person entering into a contract for a project authorized pursuant to
this section shall be deemed a state agency as that term is defined in
such article and such contracts shall be deemed state contracts within
the meaning of that term as set forth in such article.
f. Whenever a gaming facility enters into a contract, subcontract,
lease, grant, bond, covenant or other agreement for construction, recon-
struction, demolition, excavation, rehabilitation, repair, renovation,
alteration, or improvement with respect to each project undertaken
pursuant to this chapter, the gaming commission shall consider the
financial and organizational capacity of contractors and subcontractors

performance of contractors and subcontractors on previous work, the
record of contractors and subcontractors in complying with existing
labor standards and maintaining harmonious labor relations, and the
