S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 4489 2011-2012 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E April 6, 2011 ___________ Introduced by COMMITTEE ON RULES -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules AN ACT to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in relation to provision of health insurance and supplemental benefits to retirees of the New York city off track betting corporation THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The state of New York has an interest in the welfare of its citizens, and the general welfare of its senior citizens is a matter of great public concern to the state of New York. On December 7, 2010, the New York City Off Track Betting Corporation, a public benefits corporation created in 1973 pursuant to article VI of the racing, pari-mutual wagering and breeding law ceased operations. The legislature finds that, since its inception, New York City Off Track Betting provided the state of New York with significant revenues to support government operations. The legislature further finds that after the governor of the state of New York issued an executive order to allow the New York City Off Track Betting Corporation to file for bankruptcy pursuant to Chapter 9 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the unions representing the employees of NYCOTB worked tirelessly to assist the corporation in its restructuring efforts, including two collective bargaining agreements wherein the employees made significant conces- sions, including voluntary separation from the corporation, in order to save the corporation and assist their fellow employees. The legislature further finds that employees retired from the corpo- ration, after having received the assurance that they and their depen- dants would receive health insurance and supplemental benefit coverage under their collective bargaining representative's welfare benefit program. After the closure of New York City Off Track Betting, those benefits ceased. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD09353-01-1
