AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 16(b) of Chapter 23K of the General Laws in Massachusetts. The key changes include: (1) changing the word "shall" to "may" regarding the Massachusetts Gaming Commission's ability to deny a license application based on a criminal record, (2) removing the automatic disqualification for convictions older than 10 years, and (3) stating that a sealed criminal record shall not be a bar to licensing or registration under this chapter. These changes aim to institute CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) reform and provide more flexibility in the licensing process for the gaming industry in Massachusetts.
