AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 271 of the General Laws to allow for the hosting and playing of "social card games" at municipal senior centers in the Commonwealth. The bill defines a "social card game" as a game like poker, pinochle, or rummy where the winnings are limited to $50 per game, the amount contributed by each player is $5 or less, and all money wagered is distributed to the players. The bill also specifies that the provisions only apply to municipal senior centers and that private establishments may still refuse to permit social card games.
