A 6077 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Expands off-track betting to include the five counties comprising the city of New York; repealer

This bill expands off-track betting operations to include New York City's five borough counties (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island) by adding them to the defined "Catskill region" under state law. It requires the Catskill off-track betting corporation to submit a detailed business plan to the gaming commission for approval, including site locations, finances, and employment projections. The bill also creates a site selection board with community and city official representation to review proposed betting locations in NYC, mandating public hearings and a 30-day decision window. Payments previously going to individual borough counties will now flow to New York City's general fund. The legislation repeals an outdated section of the racing law to facilitate this expansion.
