  such facility; provided, however, that in the case of a municipality  or
  an  agency  thereof, such municipality has received notice of the filing

  department  of environmental conservation shall be the permitting agency
  for permits issued pursuant to federally delegated or approved authority

  federally  delegated or approved environmental permitting authority. The
  commissioner of environmental conservation shall provide such permits to
  the board  prior  to  its  determination  whether  or  not  to  issue  a
  certificate.   The   issuance   by   the   department  of  environmental
  conservation of such permits shall in no way interfere with the required
  review by the board of the anticipated environmental and health  impacts
  relating  to the construction and operation of the facility as proposed,
  or its authority to deny an application for  certification  pursuant  to

appropriate to carry out the purposes  of  this  article.  Such  orders,

different  classes  of  persons or matters. A copy of any order, rule or
regulations promulgated hereunder shall be subject to public  inspection

administer the provisions of this article.

may be necessary to enable the commission to administer  the  provisions
of this article.
(b)  The  commission may enter into such cooperative arrangements with
the board of regents, the council on the arts, other state agencies  and

communications  technology,  cable television operations and programming
and that the purposes of this article will be effectively  accomplished.
Upon  request  of  the  commission, any state agency may transfer to the

necessary from time to time to assist the commission in carrying out its
functions  and  duties.  Officers and employees so transferred shall not
lose their civil service status or rights.

  pursuant to section two hundred seventeen does not  exceed  the  maximum
  amount permitted by applicable federal law, rules or regulations.
2023 New York Laws › PBS - Public Service › Article 11 - Provisions Relating to Cable Television Companies › 219 - Franchise Requirement.

  cable television system, whether or not it is deemed to occupy or use  a
  public  thoroughfare,  may  commence  operations  or  expand the area it
  serves unless it has been franchised by each municipality  in  which  it
  proposes to provide or extend service.
2.  A  municipality shall have the power to require a franchise of any
  cable television  system  providing  service  within  the  municipality,
  notwithstanding  that  said cable television system does not occupy, use
  or in any way traverse a public street. The provision of  any  municipal
  charter  or  other  law  authorizing a municipality to require and grant
  franchises is hereby enlarged and expanded, to the extent necessary,  to
  authorize such franchises.

  or   certificate   of  confirmation  or  of  facilities  constituting  a
  significant part of any  cable  television  system  shall  be  effective
  without  the  prior  approval  of the commission. Such approval shall be
  required in addition  to  any  municipal  approval  required  under  the
  franchise  or  by  law.  For  the  purposes of this section, a merger or
  consolidation of two or more cable television companies shall be  deemed
  to  be  a  transfer  of  the  franchises or certificates granted to such
  companies.
2. A person wishing to transfer, renew or amend  a  franchise,  or  to
  transfer  control  of  a  franchise  or  of  a  substantial  part of the
  facilities thereof shall file with the  commission  an  application  for
  approval  of  such  change, in such form and containing such information
  and supporting documents as the commission may require. The  application
  shall be accompanied by proof of service thereof upon the franchisor, if
  any,  and by such fee as the commission may set. The commission may hold
  a public hearing on any such application as set forth in subdivision two
  of section two hundred twenty-one of this article.
3. The commission shall approve the application unless it  finds  that
  the  applicant,  the  proposed transferee or the cable television system
  does not  conform  to  the  standards  established  in  the  regulations
  promulgated by the commission pursuant to section two hundred fifteen of
  this  article  or  that  approval  would  be  in  violation  of law, any
  regulation or standard promulgated  by  the  commission  or  the  public
  interest,  provided  however, that a failure to conform to the standards
  established in the regulations promulgated by the commission  shall  not
  preclude  approval  of any such application if the commission finds that
  such approval would serve the public interest.
4.  The  commission  may  approve  the  application  contingent   upon
  compliance  with  standards,  terms  or conditions set by the commission
  which it determines would not have been met by  the  proposed  transfer,
  renewal or amendment.
5.  In the event the commission refuses to approve the application, it
  shall set forth in writing the reasons for its decision.
6. Approval of a transfer, renewal or  amendment  under  this  section
  shall not preclude invalidation of a franchise illegally obtained.

§ 223. Interconnection   and   system   coordination.   Whenever   the
  commission finds it to be in the public interest,  the  commission  may,
  either upon application of an interested party or on its own initiative,
  and   after  public  notice  and  opportunity  for  hearing,  order  the
  interconnection of  cable  television  systems  and  facilities  or  the
  coordinated operation of such systems and facilities. The commission may
  append  to  such order such reasonable terms and conditions as will best
  promote the public interest.

  company shall provide safe, adequate and reliable service in  accordance
  with applicable laws, regulations, and franchise requirements.
2.  Whenever,  upon complaint or upon its own motion, and after public
  notice and opportunity for hearing, the commission finds  that,  despite
  its  economic feasibility, the construction or operation of a franchised
  or certificated cable television system has been unreasonably delayed or
  that the extension of service to any persons or  areas  within  a  cable
  television  company's  territory  has been unreasonably withheld, it may
  order such construction,  operation  or  extension  on  such  terms  and
  conditions as it deems reasonable and in the public interest.
3.  Whenever,  upon  complaint or upon its own motion and after public
  notice and opportunity for hearing, the commission finds  that  a  cable
  television   company   is  not  meeting  the  service  requirements  and
  obligations imposed by this  article,  by  the  regulations  promulgated
  hereunder or by its franchise, it may order compliance therewith on such
  terms and conditions as it deems reasonable and in the public interest.
4.  In  a  city  with  a  population  of  more  than  one million, the
  commission  shall  designate  areas   where   significant   inconsistent
  installations  of  cable  television  systems  may  be proposed, and, as
  appropriate, conduct public hearings in such areas. The commission shall
  also conduct such  other  proceedings  as  are  necessary  to  determine
  whether  such  inconsistent installations will have an adverse impact on
  the character of said areas and are warranted by economic and  technical
  circumstances.  The  commission  may  order  or permit construction by a
  cable television company of its facilities  in  an  inconsistent  manner
  only  upon such terms and conditions as shall ensure the availability of
  cable television service to the largest number of potential  subscribers
  consistent  with  the  character  of  the  community  and  economic  and
  technical feasibility. The commission shall enjoin construction which it
  determines is contrary to the intent of this subdivision.
5. Failure to comply with an order  of  the  commission  issued  under
  subdivisions  two,  three  or  four of this section shall be grounds for
  denial, suspension or revocation of the right to exercise a franchise or
  to operate pursuant to a certificate of confirmation.

  notwithstanding any provision in a franchise, may abandon any service or
  portion thereof without giving six months' prior written notice  to  the
  commission  and  to the franchisor, if any, and to the municipalities it
  serves.
2. When abandonment of any service is prohibited by  a  franchise,  no
  cable  television  company  may  abandon  such  service  without written
  consent of the franchisor, if any, and the commission. In granting  such
  consent,   the   commission   may   impose  such  terms,  conditions  or

2023 New York Laws › PBS - Public Service › Article 11 - Provisions Relating to Cable Television Companies › 227 - Termination of Franchises.

§ 227. Termination  of  franchises.  1. A franchise shall terminate at
the  expiration  of  its  term  or  otherwise  in  accordance  with  the
provisions  thereof,  unless,  prior  thereto,  the commission otherwise
orders. The commission may so order  only  if  it  finds,  after  public
notice and opportunity for a hearing, that the franchisee:
(a) has committed a material breach of its franchise or any applicable
provision  of  this  article or of the regulations promulgated hereunder
and has failed, without reasonable justification, to  cure  said  breach
within  sixty days after having received written notice thereof from the
commission, or
(b) has been adjudicated a bankrupt or has filed a voluntary  petition
for  bankruptcy  or reorganization or for an order protecting its assets
from the claims of creditors and the commission finds  that  termination
of the franchise or certificate of confirmation under such conditions is
in the best interest of the public.
2. Upon termination of a franchise or certificate of confirmation, the
cable  television  company shall dispose of its facilities in accordance
with the provisions of the franchise or certificate. However, on  motion
of  any interested party or upon its own motion, and after public notice
and opportunity for hearing, if the commission finds that the  continued
presence  of  the  facilities  in  any  public thoroughfare would pose a
nuisance to the municipality or  its  residents,  the  cable  television
company shall remove its facilities within such period as the commission
shall  order.  In the absence of any applicable franchise or certificate
provision or  order  by  the  commission  to  the  contrary,  the  cable
television company may abandon its facilities.

2023 New York Laws › PML - Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law › Article 1 - Supervision and Regulation › 100 - Legislative Intent.

§  100.  Legislative intent. The legislature finds and determines that
  the gaming industries constitute a vital  sector  of  New  York  state's
  overall   economy.  The  legislature  also  finds  and  determines  that
  responsive, effective, innovative, state gaming regulation is  necessary
  to  operate  in  a  global, evolving and increasingly competitive market
  place. The legislature  additionally  finds  and  determines  that  this
  legislation  is  necessary  to modernize and transform the present state
  gaming agencies into a new integrated state gaming commission.
The continued  growth  of  the  gaming  industry  will  contribute  to
  economic  development  and  job creation in this state. Therefore, it is
  essential to maintain the public confidence and trust in the credibility
  and integrity of legalized gaming  activities.  To  ensure  such  public
  confidence  and trust, this article provides that the regulation of such
  gaming is to  be  conducted  in  the  most  efficient,  transparent  and
  effective manner possible. By consolidating various regulatory functions
  into  a  single  oversight  body with broad powers, this article ensures
  strict state regulation of all corporations,  associations  and  persons
  engaged   in  gaming  activity.  Further,  by  consolidating  regulatory
  functions into a single  oversight  body,  this  article  will  increase
  efficiency,  reduce  costs and eliminate any unnecessary redundancies in
  regulation.  The  improved  regulatory  structure  established  by  this
  article  will ensure, so far as practicable, the exclusion of unsuitable
  persons or entities from participating in any legalized gaming  activity
  within  this state. The goal of this article is that all gaming activity
  conducted in this state will be of the  highest  integrity,  credibility
  and  quality  and that the best interests of the public, both gaming and
  non-gaming, will be served. Additionally, during the term of appointment
  or employment, every member, officer  and  employee  of  the  commission
  shall be held to the highest ethical standards and avoid any conflict of
  interest  or  appearance  thereof.  Finally,  it  is  determined  by the
  legislature that the public interest is best served by those persons  or
  entities  engaged  in gaming activity paying the cost of regulating such
  activity through reasonable regulatory fees.
