What this can and cannot do

This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the New York State Legislature and the Governor to act, because the subject is outside the city's authority. Passing it commits the city to a position; it does not change the rule.

Summary

Setting aside a portion of state revenues from sports betting to support youth sports programs, upgrade community sports infrastructure and expand access to recreational athletics for young people across the state.
