 Introduced by M. of A. WOERNER -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Racing and Wagering

 AN ACT to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in
 relation to equine screening and advanced imaging expenses; and
 providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law is
 2 amended by adding a new section 902-a to read as follows:
 3 § 902-a. Equine screening and advanced imaging expenses. 1. In order
 4 to assure the public's confidence and continue the high degree of integ-
 5 rity in racing at the pari-mutuel betting tracks, clinical services
 6 related to screening and advanced imaging shall be conducted by a land
 7 grant university within this state at a location proximate to a race-
 8 track owned by the state.
 9 2. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the land grant
 10 university's costs of operating such preventive screening and advanced
 11 imaging services shall be offset by an assessment collected by the
 12 commission pursuant to subdivision seven of section one thousand
 13 twelve-a of this chapter, and distributed by the commission to such land
 14 grant university. The commission shall determine the distribution sched-
 15 ule of such assessments to the land grant university outlined in this
 16 subdivision, provided that such distributions occur in a reasonable
 17 amount of time subsequent to the commission collecting such assessments.
 18 3. In consideration of the state and industry support provided for the
 19 screening and advanced imaging services to the land grant university:
 20 (a) the clinical services shall be provided for the benefit of New York
 21 horsemen at reasonable costs; and (b) any data or educational material
 22 generated from such program shall be shared with the commission and any
 23 entity licensed or franchised pursuant to article one or two of this
 24 chapter.

 13 require. A penalty of five percent and interest at the rate of one
 14 percent per month from the date the report is required to be filed to
 15 the date the payment shall be payable in case any payments required by
