Bill > H532

This bill aims to amend the existing Chapter 23K of the General Laws, which governs the gaming industry in the Commonwealth. The key provisions include: 1. Redefining the "Category 2 license" to allow the licensee to operate a gaming establishment with no more than 1,250 slot machines, with the possibility of the Gaming Commission authorizing the licensee to host up to 30 table games and an additional 250 slot machines, subject to the approval of the host community and the Commission's determination that it is in the Commonwealth's best interests. 2. Clarifying that any authorization granted by the Commission for additional table games and slot machines does not constitute a new license and will terminate if the Category 2 license is not renewed, is terminated, surrendered, or suspended. The bill is intended to provide flexibility and support for the Commonwealth's gaming industry, while maintaining appropriate oversight and community engagement.
