AI Summary

This bill seeks to responsibly protect employment and revenue derived from the Commonwealth's gaming industry. It amends the existing Chapter 23K of the General Laws by: (1) redefining a "Category 2 license" to allow for up to 1,250 slot machines, and (2) authorizing the Gaming Commission to consider allowing a Category 2 licensee to host up to 30 table games and an additional 250 slot machines, if certain requirements are met and the Commission determines it is in the Commonwealth's best interests. Any such authorization by the Commission would not constitute permanent licensure and would terminate if the Category 2 license is not renewed, is terminated, surrendered, or suspended.
