Relates to additional qualifications for the board members of regional off-track betting corporations
This bill establishes new qualification requirements for board members of regional off-track betting corporations in New York. It prohibits former employees or officers of these corporations from serving on a board for 10 years after leaving their position and bans them from lobbying the board during that period. Board members must also obtain commission approval for a license before attending any meetings, including executive sessions. These rules apply directly to all regional off-track betting corporation boards, affecting their appointment and operational procedures. The bill does not change the core structure of these corporations but adds specific eligibility and conduct requirements for board members.
