Prohibits individuals under the age of twenty-one from gambling
This bill (S 2610) raises the minimum age for gambling from 18 to 21 years old. It directly affects individuals under 21 and racetracks operating video lottery gaming, requiring them to prohibit participation by anyone under 21. The bill amends existing laws to update licensing conditions, ensuring racetracks comply with the new age restriction for video lottery gaming. It also requires racetracks to meet fire safety standards and maintain permanent facilities for gaming operations. The policy change is a straightforward age limit adjustment for gambling activities at licensed racetracks.
