        AN  ACT  to  amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in
          relation to New York bred harness races
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section  1.  Section  307-a  of  the  racing, pari-mutuel wagering and
     2  breeding law, as added by chapter 258 of the laws of 2014, is amended to
     3  read as follows:
     4    § 307-a. New York bred harness races. Any association  or  corporation
     5  licensed  to  conduct harness race meetings at which pari-mutuel betting
     6  is permitted may, if in its sole discretion such association  or  corpo-
     7  ration  determines[,]  that it would be beneficial [to], run races which
     8  are limited to New York bred and/or wholly owned horses.    These  races
     9  may be written on such terms and conditions as any other race authorized
    10  pursuant  to  law or regulation [of the board] of the gaming commission,
    11  notwithstanding any preference date requirements. If in the  opinion  of
    12  the  corporation  or  association  sufficient  competition cannot be had
    13  among such restricted class of horses, said race may be  eliminated  for
    14  said  day  and  a  substitute  race provided instead. The [board] gaming
    15  commission shall be authorized to promulgate regulations  to  effectuate
    16  the intent of this section.
    17    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
