There is a newer version of the New York Consolidated Laws
2006 New York Code - Resources Of Fund.
§ 247. Resources of fund. 1. The fund is authorized and directed to collect and receive in each calendar year from any racing association or corporation or regional off-track betting corporations from on-track wagers or off-track wagers, as the case may be, the sum of one-half of one percent of regular, multiple and exotic wagers, and three percent of super exotic wagers and to deposit such moneys in a bank or banks in this state. 2. The fund is authorized to dispose and distribute the moneys received by it pursuant to the provisions of sections two hundred twenty-two through seven hundred five of this chapter and in accordance with distribution schedules promulgated by the fund and adopted in the rules and regulations of the board. Such schedules shall be developed and based on reasonable estimates of fund income for the fiscal year of the fund and made available prior to January first of each year. In formulating distribution schedules, the board of directors may determine that for those New York-breds foaled after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-seven, the amounts to be made available in awards to the breeders and owners of such New York-breds which have been sired by registered New York stallions may exceed the amounts to be made available to the breeders and owners of such New York-breds sired by other than registered New York stallions. Such schedules may be adjusted, from time to time, by majority vote of the board of directors, for the following purposes and no other: a. An amount as shall be determined by the fund, but not in excess of forty-three percent as awards to breeders of New York-breds finishing first, second, third and fourth in pari-mutuel races run in New York state; except that during any calendar year when the total percentage of breeder awards exceeds forty-three percent of total revenue, the fund, by a two-thirds vote of its board, may increase the percentage of revenue allotted to breeder awards, but in no event shall the allotment exceed fifty percent of total revenue. b. An amount as shall be determined by the fund, but not in excess of thirty-three percent as premiums to owners of New York-breds finishing first, second, third and fourth in pari-mutuel races run in New York state and not restricted to New York-breds; except that during any calendar year when the total percentage of owner awards exceeds thirty-three percent of total revenue, the fund, by a two-thirds vote of its board, may increase the percentage of revenue allotted to owner awards, but in no event shall the allotment exceed forty percent of total revenue. c. An amount as shall be determined by the fund but not in excess of fifteen percent as awards to stallion owners, whose New York stallions have sired New York-breds finishing first, second, third and fourth in pari-mutuel races run in New York state; except that during any calendar year when the total percentage of stallion awards exceeds fifteen percent of total revenue, the fund, by a two-thirds vote of its board, may increase the percentage of revenue allotted to stallion awards, but in no event shall the allotment exceed twenty percent of total revenue. d. (i) An amount as shall be determined by the fund but not in excess of forty-four percent to provide purse moneys for races exclusively for New York-breds, the conditions of which have been approved by the fund. Provided, however, that the fund shall set aside forty percent of the funds allotted under this subdivision to tracks operated by associations or corporations licensed or franchised in accordance with the provisions of section two hundred seven or section two hundred eight of this article except that in addition to the other amounts allotted by the fund under this paragraph, seventy-five percent of fund revenues derived from payments received in accordance with subdivision one of section five hundred twenty-seven of this chapter shall be allotted exclusively to purses at a track operated by a corporation or association licensed under the provisions of section two hundred seven of this article. (ii) The fund may direct a portion or portions of revenues allocated in this paragraph and dedicated to a racing association or corporation licensed in accordance with section two hundred seven of this article to pari-mutuel races at such track which are not restricted to New York-breds provided that the revenues so allocated shall only be used to enrich any purses awarded to New York-breds finishing first, second, third, fourth or fifth in such non-restricted races. e. An amount as shall be determined by the fund but not in excess of five percent to advance and promote breeding and raising of thoroughbreds in this state by the publication and dissemination of information relating thereto, and the encouragement of interest, including among youth, in the breeding and raising of New York-breds, and to advance and promote interest generally in agricultural pursuits. f. An amount as shall be determined by the fund but not in excess of four percent for the administration and management of the fund. g. An amount equal to two percent thereof for the promotion of equine research through a fund of a land grant university within this state with a regents approved veterinary college facility. All moneys of the fund in excess of seventy-five thousand dollars on hand at the end of each calendar year shall be apportioned between and paid to the state and the regional off-track betting corporations based on the level of contributions to such fund during the year by the racing associations or corporations and the regional off-track betting corporations, respectively. Payment of such money to the state and such corporations, respectively, shall be made by March fifteenth of the year following the close of such calendar year. That portion returned to the regional off-track betting corporations shall be distributed prior to May first of such year to the participating local governments within each region in the same proportion as the net earnings of such corporation for the prior calendar year were distributed.
