The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $14,739,000 in
State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03, reflecting no growth in funding from
SFY 2001-02. 

This appropriation reflects the following:

       support staff and costs related to the processing of racing
       licenses; the review of financial statements submitted by
       regional OTBs; legal hearings to suspend or fine violators of
       racing regulations; seasonal employees at the thoroughbred and
       harness tracks; and the testing of race horses for prohibited
       drugs;

--     a $2,100,000 Special Revenue Fund appropriation is recommended
       to support the regulation of charitable gaming such as bell jar
       games; and 

--     a $3,200,000 Special Revenue Fund appropriation from fees
       charged to Indian Casinos is recommended to support on site
       monitoring and investigation of these casinos.
