Albany lawmakers are doubling down.

The state Senate and Assembly passed legislation to, in essence, try to force the governor’s hand.

“I do think this process is fair. It just was flawed,” Queens state Sen. Joseph Addabbo told NY1. “It didn’t have a start date nor an end date. And if the governor signs this bill, now it will.”

Last week, they passed a bill setting a new deadline for developers and gaming companies to submit their applications for one of three gaming licenses being issued by the state.

Under the bill, those applications would be due by the end of August. Currently, there is no deadline set.

The bill would speed up the community approval process needed for these applications to move forward to a state board, which will make the final decision.

And some observers say that timeline may favor applicants that already have all of their zoning and land use approvals.

Projects like the one on the east side of Manhattan, known as Freedom Plaza.

One of the project’s leaders, Michael Hershman of the Soloviev Group, told NY1: “This might put several applicants at a disadvantage. I have to say that that’s possible.”

The bill was shepherded by Addabbo, who used to represent Resorts World casino in Queens. It only has slot machines now and wants a full-fledged casino license.

It too may get a leg up under this new timeline.

Addabbo told NY1 he consulted with Resorts World and other gaming companies when crafting the proposal.

But he did not seek feedback from another big competitor, Steve Cohen, billionaire and owner of the Mets who is pushing a casino in the shadow of CitiField.

Cohen’s project needs additional state approvals, which have been, so far, not entertained in Albany.

“We could wait forever for some of these sites to figure it out, and they may never be able to figure it out,” Addabbo said. “How long do we wait for the people of New York to realize these thousands upon thousands of union construction jobs, and these thousands upon thousands post union, these are great jobs, but they do nothing for New York just sitting on a shelf just doing absolutely nothing for us?”

Under the bill, projects like Cohen’s would still have until the end of 2025 to get those additional state approvals. That’s when a state board will make its final recommendations for these licenses.

The governor did not say whether she would sign the legislation when we asked on Thursday.
