§  1017.  Out-of-state  or out-of-country races. 1. Licensed simulcast   facilities may accept wagers and display the signal of  out-of-state  or   out-of-country  thoroughbred  tracks  after 7:30 P.M. in accordance with   the provisions of this section.  Such  simulcasting  may  include  mixed   meetings  if  such meetings are integral to such racing programs and all   such wagering on such races shall be construed to be thoroughbred races.   For  facilities  located  within  the  special  betting  district,  such   approval  shall  also be required from a thoroughbred racing corporation   during the period a racing program is being  conducted  at  such  track.   Such  approval shall not be required on any day such thoroughbred racing   corporation is also accepting an out-of-state or  out-of-country  signal   and  wager, as authorized by this section. The provisions of section one   thousand sixteen of this article shall be applicable to the  conduct  of   such  simulcasting  and  the  provisions  of  clauses  (A)  and  (B)  of   subparagraph four of paragraph b  of  subdivision  one  of  section  one   thousand  sixteen  of  this  article  shall  apply  to  those facilities   licensed in accordance with sections one thousand eight and one thousand   nine of this article and the  provisions  of  clauses  (A)  and  (B)  of   subparagraph  six  of  paragraph  b  of  subdivision  one of section one   thousand sixteen  of  this  article  shall  apply  to  those  facilities   licensed  in accordance with section one thousand seven of this article,   when such provisions are in full  force  and  effect  pursuant  to  such   section.  Provided,  however,  the  provisions  of  section one thousand   fourteen of this article shall be applicable  to  the  conduct  of  such   simulcasting, when such provisions are in full force and effect pursuant   to such section.2.  a.  Maintenance  of effort. Any off-track betting corporation that   engages in accepting wagers on the simulcasts of thoroughbred races from   out-of-state or out-of-country as permitted  under  subdivision  one  of   this  section  shall  submit  to  the  commission,  for  its approval, a   schedule of payments to be made in any year  or  portion  thereof,  that   such   off-track   corporation   engages   in   nighttime   thoroughbred   simulcasting. In order to be approved by  the  commission,  the  payment   schedule  shall be identical to the actual payments and distributions of   such payments to tracks and purses made by  such  off-track  corporation   pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  section  one thousand fifteen of this   article during the year two thousand two, as derived  from  out-of-state   harness  races  displayed after 6:00 P.M. If approved by the commission,   such scheduled payments shall be made from  revenues  derived  from  any   simulcasting conducted pursuant to this section and section one thousand   fifteen of this article.b.  Additional payments. During each calendar year, to the extent, and   at such time in the event,  that  aggregate  statewide  wagering  handle   after  7:30  P.M.  on out-of-state and out-of-country thoroughbred races   exceeds one hundred million dollars, each off-track betting  corporation   conducting  such simulcasting shall pay to its regional harness track or   tracks, an amount equal to two percent of  its  proportionate  share  of   such  excess  handle. In any region where there are two or more regional   harness tracks, such two percent shall be divided between or  among  the   tracks in a proportion equal to the proportion of handle on live harness   races conducted at such tracks during the preceding calendar year. Fifty   percent  of  the  sum  received by each track pursuant to this paragraph   shall be used exclusively for increasing purses, stakes  and  prizes  at   that regional harness track. For the purpose of determining whether such   aggregate  statewide  handle  exceeds  one  hundred million dollars, all   wagering   on   such   thoroughbred   races   accepted    by    licensed   multi-jurisdictional  account  wagering  providers from customers within   New York state shall be excluded.
