AI Summary

This bill establishes an advisory task force to examine "games of skill," which are defined as activities where the outcome is primarily determined by a participant's abilities rather than chance, and specifically mentions online fantasy football as an example. The task force, composed of nine members appointed by the Speaker of the Senate, Speaker of the House, and the Attorney General, is charged with reviewing these games and recommending any necessary changes to existing consumer protection and criminal laws to safeguard individuals who pay to participate. The task force will be supported by the Attorney General's office, with members serving without pay but eligible for travel expense reimbursement, and is set to disband after submitting its findings and recommendations to state leadership by January 1, 2017.
