AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 23K of the General Laws by adding a new section that allows a commission to license private clubs to operate gaming devices, with each device requiring a separate license under regulations established by the commission. A "private club" is defined as a not-for-profit entity whose members are part of either a veterans' organization chartered by the U.S. Congress with affiliated chapters in any state, or a fraternal society operating under a lodge system with affiliated chapters in any state. This legislation aims to authorize certain private clubs, specifically those with a veterans' or fraternal nature, to engage in operating gaming devices.
