AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend the existing law to allow the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to regulate sports wagering. The bill requires the Commission to study the social and economic impacts of legalized sports wagering, including its relationship to problem gambling, effects on youth and college/professional sports, and the promotion and hiring practices of licensed entities. The bill authorizes the Commission to issue a limited number of licenses for in-person and digital/online sports wagering, with all revenues going to the Gaming Revenue Fund. The bill prohibits betting on collegiate sports and considers non-compliance an unfair trade practice. It also requires that all technology used for sports wagering be processed and stored in Massachusetts, and directs the Commission to promulgate relevant regulations.
