An Act relative to the Gaming Commission having at least 1 commissioner be a resident of western Massachusetts

This bill requires that at least one of the five members of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission be a current full-time resident of Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, or Berkshire counties. The change directly affects the state's Gaming Commission by adding a geographic residency requirement for commissioner appointments. By amending the relevant section of state law, the legislation ensures representation from western Massachusetts on the regulatory body overseeing gaming operations.
