Budget Highlights

The Racing Reform Program's appropriations were originally established to facilitate and finance activities associated with the implementation of Chapter 354 of the Laws of 2005. Subsequently, the Legislature enacted further reforms to the New York Racing Association in Chapters 18 and 140 of the Laws of 2008.

The FY 2026 Executive Budget recommends reappropriations of $1.6 million, which are available to finance State costs resulting from this legislation.
