An Act relative to supporting veterans organizations

This bill creates a new license allowing federally chartered veterans' organizations (like the American Legion) to operate limited video gaming machines (VGTs) at their facilities. It permits up to 5 VGTs per location with $2 maximum bets and $599 maximum wins, restricted to members and guests over 21. Licensees must pay a 35% tax on gross profits to the Gaming Revenue Fund, comply with strict background checks, and use a centrally monitored system with no cash handling at machines. The license is valid for 5 years, non-transferable, and requires posting gambling help resources.
