* § 99-h. Tribal-state compact revenue account. 1. There is hereby

established in the joint custody of the comptroller and the commissioner

of taxation and finance an account in the miscellaneous special revenue

fund to be known as the "tribal-state compact revenue account".

2. Such account shall consist of all revenues resulting from

tribal-state compacts executed pursuant to article two of the executive

law, a tribal-state compact with the St. Regis Mohawk tribe executed

pursuant to chapter five hundred ninety of the laws of two thousand four

and the Oneida Settlement Agreement referenced in section eleven of the

executive law.

3. Moneys of the account, following the segregation of appropriations

enacted by the legislature, shall be available for purposes including

but not limited to: (a) reimbursements or payments to municipal

governments that host tribal casinos pursuant to a tribal-state compact

for costs incurred in connection with services provided to such casinos

or arising as a result thereof, for economic development opportunities

and job expansion programs authorized by the executive law; provided,

however, that for any gaming facility located in the county of Erie or

Niagara, the municipal governments hosting the facility shall

collectively receive a minimum of twenty-five percent of the negotiated

percentage of the net drop from electronic gaming devices the state

receives pursuant to the compact and provided further that for any

gaming facility located in the county or counties of Cattaraugus,

Chautauqua or Allegany, the municipal governments of the state hosting

the facility shall collectively receive a minimum of twenty-five percent

of the negotiated percentage of the net drop from electronic gaming

devices the state receives pursuant to the compact; and provided further

that pursuant to chapter five hundred ninety of the laws of two thousand

four, a minimum of twenty-five percent of the revenues received by the

state pursuant to the state's compact with the St. Regis Mohawk tribe

shall be made available to the counties of Franklin and St. Lawrence,

and affected towns in such counties. Each such county and its affected

towns shall receive fifty percent of the moneys made available by the

state; and provided further that the state shall annually make

twenty-five percent of the negotiated percentage of the net drop from

all gaming devices the state actually receives pursuant to the Oneida

Settlement Agreement confirmed by section eleven of the executive law

available to the county of Oneida, and a sum of three and one-half

million dollars to the county of Madison. Additionally, the state shall

distribute, for a period of nineteen and one-quarter years, an

additional annual sum of two and one-half million dollars to the county

of Oneida. Additionally, the state shall distribute the one-time eleven

million dollar payment actually received by the state pursuant to the

Oneida Settlement Agreement to the county of Madison by wire transfer

upon receipt of such payment by the state; and (b) support and services

of treatment programs for persons suffering from gambling addictions.

Moneys not segregated for such purposes shall be transferred to the

general fund for the support of government during the fiscal year in

which they are received.

3-a. Ten percent of any of the funds actually received by the state

pursuant to the tribal-state compacts and agreements described in

subdivision two of this section prior to the transfer of unsegregated

moneys to the general fund required by such subdivision, shall be

distributed to counties in each respective exclusivity zone provided

they do not otherwise receive a share of said revenues pursuant to this

section. Such distribution shall be made among such counties on a per

capita basis, excluding the population of any municipality that receives

a distribution pursuant to subdivision three of this section.
