A 5923 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for payments to licensed harness tracks by regional off-track betting corporations

This bill modifies payments from off-track betting corporations to licensed harness racing tracks during periods when thoroughbred racing isn't occurring. It establishes specific payment percentages: 2.8% on regular bets and 4.8% on special bet types during regional meetings, with lower rates (1.9% and 3.4%) when no meeting occurs. It also requires a 0.75% payment on out-of-state thoroughbred race wagers and outlines how funds are divided among multiple tracks in a region based on their wagering share. The changes apply to regional harness tracks and off-track betting corporations operating under New York's racing laws.
