Also referred to Racing, Gaming And Wagering · New York State Senate.
Section 1 of the bill amends section 111 of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law to provide self-exclusion provisions similar to those in existing section 1345 in regard to commercial casino gambl- ing, including providing for forfeiture of winnings, after notice and an opportunity to be heard, in the event a self-excluded person violates the terms of the exclusion. Forfeiture revenue would be directed to various regulatory accounts. The party offering gaming activity would also be provided notice and an opportunity to be heard. Section 2 of the bill amends section 345 of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law to make it applicable to excluded persons other than self-excluded persons, and refer to the generally applicable section 111 for provisions in regard to self-exclusion. The commercial casino would also be provided notice and an opportunity to be heard. Section 3 of the bill makes the bill effective on the 180th day after it shall have become a law, to allow for agency systems to implement the bill properly.

The sponsor's argument
This bill strengthens the disincentives for a self-excluded person to violate the terms of his or her exclusion.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
