Relative to the denial of application by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. Economic Development and Emerging Technologies.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 16(b) of Chapter 23K of the Massachusetts General Laws, which relates to the denial of application by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. Specifically, the bill would change the language from "shall" to "may" regarding the denial of a license or registration based on a criminal record, remove the automatic disqualification for convictions older than 10 years, and clarify that a sealed criminal record shall not be a bar to licensing or registration under this chapter. These changes are intended to institute CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) reform and provide greater opportunities for individuals with criminal records to be considered for licensing and employment in the gaming industry.
