New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 9 - EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT › Subtitle A - Governor's Office › Chapter I - Executive Orders › Part 3 - Executive Orders (Hugh L. Carey) › Section 3.82 - Executive order no. 82: establishing the casino gambling study panel

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
WHEREAS, the Legislature has given first passage to
					 concurrent resolutions proposing constitutional amendments that offer several
					 differing approaches to casino gambling; and
WHEREAS, second passage of such resolutions will be
					 considered and, upon passage, will be submitted to the people for their
					 approval; and
WHEREAS, casino gambling holds considerable potential for
					 enhancing economic development, job creation, and tourism in New York State,
					 and the fulfillment of that potential depends upon the form and substance we
					 give to this concept; and
WHEREAS, the approach we take to casino gambling must
					 reflect sound social, fiscal and legal judgments, and these judgments are the
					 shared responsibility of the Legislature, Executive and the people of this
					 State; and
WHEREAS, there must be an understanding of the objectives
					 we wish to achieve through casino gambling and the public policy that should
					 guide us in meeting those objectives; and
WHEREAS, there are difficult and complex questions that
					 require careful professional evaluation before final action is taken in this
					 matter:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Hugh L. Carey, Governor of the State of
					 New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the
					 Laws of the State of New York, do hereby establish the Casino Gambling Study
					 Panel.
I. Powers and Responsibilities.
1. The Casino Gambling Study Panel shall
				  study, evaluate and make appropriate recommendations on:
the economic, social and employment impact of casino
					 operations upon the State and regions within the State;
the most beneficial ways of utilizing casino gambling for
					 economic development;
methods of taxation and potential revenues that may be
					 derived directly and indirectly from casino gambling, and the potential impact
					 upon revenues received from existing forms of gambling in the State;
whether casino gambling should be publicly operated or
					 privately operated with licensing and regulation by the State;
methods of licensing, qualifications of licensees and
					 regulation of casino activities including measures that should be taken to
					 prevent fraud, abuse and infiltration by undesirable elements into casino
					 operations;
such other matters that are consistent with the general
					 authority and responsibility of the Panel.
2. Submit to the Governor, on or before April
				  16, 1979, an interim report addressing those matters germane to the concurrent
				  resolutions on casino gambling that are now before the Legislature for its
				  consideration for second passage, with appropriate recommendations.
3. Submit to the Governor, on or before
				  September 1, 1979, a report setting forth the Panel's recommendations and

				  may request on matters related to casino gambling.
