A bill introduced to the New York State Assembly on Tuesday proposes the formation of a special legislative task force to develop regulations for sports betting should the US Supreme Court opt to kill the federal law (PASPA) that prohibits it.<\/p>\n

New York Assemblyman Clyde Vanel\u2019s sports betting bill proposes spending a year and a half just thinking about sports betting. Other bills in the statehouse might get the job done more quickly. (Image: YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York Assemblyman Clyde Vanel\u2019s A10322 would establish a ten-person team drawn from the legislature and the New York State Gaming Commission to craft a framework of regulation for a future wagering market.<\/p>\n

According to the bill, the task force\u2019s objectives would be to \u201crecommend policies and procedures to be promulgated in regulations\u00a0by the New York state gaming commission and its divisions to ensure\u00a0responsible online sports betting in all facilities licensed or enfranchised by such commission or divisions.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It would also \u201crecommend a structure by which all online sports betting regulations promulgated by the commission or its divisions shall be enforced, including but not limited to penalties for violations of regulatory standards and corrective action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vanel Measure Forces Slow Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While the phrase \u201csports betting task force\u201d might sound dynamic and suggest New York is injecting urgency into the legislative push for sports betting, A10322 is in fact recommending a very cautious approach.<\/p>\n

\n

The state\u2019s neighboring competitors in the casino market, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, have already passed legislation to legalize sports betting and are eager to gain a first-into-the-market advantage and New York’s casinos could do with a short-term boos<\/a>t, rather than face more effective competition.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But, with a likely positive SCOTUS decision expected any day now<\/a>, Vanel\u2019s task force would be charged with submitting a report to the Governor, Speaker of the Assembly and temporary President of the Senate at a date \u201cno later than December 31st, 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bonacic Bill A Promising Compromise <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rather than legalizing sports betting, Vanel is proposing New York spend 18 months studying it before possibly crafting a new bill based on the task force\u2019s recommendations that may or may not legalize it. At that rate, New York\u2019s first sports books would be unlikely to be up and running before 2021.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the state has several bills that may get the job done quicker, including one from Senator John Bonacic that has already been passed by committee. This bill includes a compromise on the controversial one percent \u201cintegrity fee\u201d demanded by the leagues on all bets taken, which translates to a 20 to 25 percent tax on gross gaming revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bonacic\u2019s bill suggests instead a .25 percent integrity fee, capped at 2 percent of gross gaming revenue, which may be palatable to the leagues and stakeholders alike and thus could be workable legislation in New York and a possible template for other states as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
