Bill Summary

Relative to the issuance of licenses by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission in Bristol, Plymouth, Nantucket, Dukes and Barnstable counties. Economic Development and Emerging Technologies.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 19 of Chapter 23K of the General Laws to give the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (the Commission) the discretionary authority to issue a category 2 gaming license in Region C instead of a category 1 license, if the Commission determines that a category 2 license would better accomplish the legislative objectives established in the 2011 Gaming Act, even if this contradicts other provisions in the law. The bill aims to provide the Commission with more flexibility in issuing gaming licenses in certain counties, including Bristol, Plymouth, Nantucket, Dukes, and Barnstable.
