Hart–Agnew Law
text:
The Hart–Agnew Law was an anti-gambling bill passed into law by the Legislature of the State of New York on June 11, 1908. It was an amalgam of bills enacted as Chapter 506 and 507 which were sponsored by conservative Assemblyman Merwin K. Hart and Republican Senator George B. Agnew. For more than a decade, moral activists, including the YMCA, had demanded New York enact legislation similar to that passed in 1898 by the state of New Jersey which banned both gambling and horse racing.
