      Section: 5:5-152: Annual certification of racing costs.

           26. a. The State Treasurer shall certify racing costs on an annual basis. These racing costs shall be the basis for payment and reimbursement to the commission from the following sources, in the following order:

(1) license and permit fees received by the commission;

(2) breakage moneys and outstanding parimutuel ticket moneys as provided in sections 21 and 25 of this act, and the outstanding parimutuel ticket moneys as provided in section 44 of P.L.1940, c.17 (C.5:5-64), section 1 of P.L.1984, c.236 (C.5:5-64.1) and section 7 of P.L.1971, c.137 (C.5:10-7).

b. If, in any year, amounts received by the commission from the sources specified in subsection a. of this section are not sufficient to reimburse the commission for racing costs, there shall be an assessment against permit holders or successors in interest to permit holders, if applicable, to reimburse the commission for its costs for which funds are not otherwise appropriated to the commission by law. Such assessment shall be approved by the State Treasurer. The commission shall establish, by regulation, an assessment formula which apportions such costs to each permit holder or successor in interest, if applicable.

c. Subject to the approval of the State Treasurer, the commission may adjust the annual assessment when necessary to cover expenditures not anticipated at the time of the assessment.

d. The funds derived from the sources specified in this section shall be held in a non-lapsing dedicated account, for use in accordance with the provisions of this section.
