2023 New York Laws › GMU - General Municipal › Article 14-H - Local Option for Conduct of Bingo by Certain Organizations › 475 - Short Title; Purpose of Article.

§  475.  Short  title; purpose of article. This article shall be known
  and may be cited as the bingo licensing law.    The  legislature  hereby
  declares  that  the  raising  of  funds  for  the promotion of bona fide
  charitable,  educational,  scientific,  health,  religious,  civic   and
  patriotic   causes   and   undertakings,  where  the  beneficiaries  are
  indefinite, is  in  the  public  interest.  It  hereby  finds  that,  as
  conducted  prior to the enactment of this article, bingo was the subject
  of exploitation by  professional  gamblers,  promoters,  and  commercial
  interests.    It  is hereby declared to be the policy of the legislature
  that all phases of the supervision, licensing and  regulation  of  bingo
  and of the conduct of bingo games, should be closely controlled and that
  the laws and regulations pertaining thereto should be strictly construed
  and  rigidly  enforced;  that  the conduct of the game and all attendant
  activities should be so regulated and adequate controls so instituted as
  to discourage commercialization in all its forms, including  the  rental
  of  commercial  premises  for  bingo  games,  and  to  ensure  a maximum
  availability of the net proceeds of bingo exclusively for application to
  the worthy causes and  undertakings  specified  herein;  that  the  only
  justification  for  this  article  is  to foster and support such worthy
  causes and undertakings, and that the mandate of section nine of article
  one of the state constitution, as amended,  should  be  carried  out  by
  rigid   regulation   to   prevent   commercialized   gambling,   prevent
  participation by criminal and other undesirable elements and prevent the
  diversion of funds from the purposes herein authorized.

  of  article one of the constitution of the state, the legislature hereby
  gives and grants to every municipality the right, power and authority to
  authorize the conduct of bingo games by authorized organizations  within

  where the electors of a village shall hereafter approve a local  law  or
  ordinance  pursuant  to  section  four  hundred  seventy-eight  of  this
  article, the right, power and authority under this article of  any  town
