Bill > H421

This bill aims to amend the existing Chapter 23K of the General Laws in Massachusetts, which governs the state's gaming industry. The key provisions are: 1. The definition of a "Category 2 license" is revised to allow a gaming establishment with no table games and up to 1,250 slot machines, with the potential for the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (the Commission) to authorize the licensee to host up to 30 table games and an additional 250 slot machines, subject to certain requirements and approvals. 2. The Commission is empowered to consider the benefit to the Commonwealth, the host community, and surrounding communities when determining whether to authorize the additional table games and slot machines for a Category 2 licensee. 3. Any authorization granted by the Commission under these provisions would not constitute a new license and would terminate if the existing Category 2 license is not renewed, is terminated, surrendered, or suspended.
