2023 New York Laws › PML - Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law › Article 10 - Simulcast of Horse Races › 1000 - Legislative Intent.

§  1000.  Legislative  intent.  The legislature finds that the racing,
  breeding and pari-mutuel wagering industry is an important sector of the
  agricultural economy of this state,  provides  substantial  revenue  for
  state  and  local  governments,  and  employs tens of thousands of state
  residents.
The legislature further determines that simulcasting, the simultaneous
  telecast of live audio and  visual  signals  of  horse  races  on  which
  pari-mutuel  betting is permitted, holds the potential to strengthen and
  further these economic contributions and that it is in the best interest
  of the state to encourage experimentation with such live telecasts.
The purpose of such experimentation shall  be  to  determine  if  that
  technology  can  promote the overall growth of the industry resulting in
  additional revenues for the  support  of  the  racing  associations  and
  corporations,  purses,  breeders,  off-track betting corporations, labor
  and government.
No simulcasts shall be authorized which jeopardize present  racing  or
  employment  opportunities  or  which  infringe  on current operations or
  markets  of  the  racetracks  and   the   regional   off-track   betting
  corporations  which  generate significant revenues for local governments
  in the state.
Accordingly, the legislature hereby  authorizes  experimentation  with
  the  telecasts  of  horse  races, on which pari-mutuel wagering shall be
  permitted, under the regulation of the  commission  in  the  manner  and
  subject to the conditions provided in this article.

  recommendations the commission deems appropriate. Such  reports  may  be
  submitted  together  with  the  reports  required  by subdivision two of

  conduct operations in accordance with the  provisions  of  the  plan  of
  operation,  with  the  applicable  rules  of  the commission or with the
  provisions of this article.
2. If the commission determines to suspend any license  to  operate  a
  simulcast  facility,  the  commission  shall  give the operator involved
  notice of the time and plan for a hearing before the commission at which
  the commission  will  hear  such  operator  in  reference  thereto.  The
  commission  may  continue  such  hearing  from  time  to  time  for  the
  convenience of all parties. Any of the parties affected by such  hearing
  may  be represented by counsel, and the commission may be represented by
  its own counsel or by the attorney  general.  In  the  conduct  of  such
  hearing  the  commission  shall  not  be  bound  by  technical  rules of
  evidence, but all  evidence  offered  before  the  commission  shall  be
  reduced  to  writing,  and  such evidence together with the exhibits, if
  any, and the findings of the commission shall be  permanently  preserved
  and  shall  constitute  the  record  of the commission in such case. The
  commission may by order, if occasion shall require, refer to one or more

  hearing  required  by  subdivision  two  of  this  section pending final
  determination of the commission following the  hearing.  Such  emergency
  suspension shall be followed by a hearing as provided in subdivision two
  of this section within twenty days following suspension.
