An Act relative to gambling addiction

HD 3120 requires medical screenings in specific healthcare settings (such as primary care and mental health services) to include questions about gambling habits and frequency, directly affecting patients and healthcare providers conducting these screenings. It establishes a 13-member special commission with state health officials, gambling treatment experts, and representatives from health insurance and gaming organizations to study problem gambling. The commission will assess current research, review screening practices, develop educational materials, and recommend policies to improve prevention, detection, and treatment of gambling addiction. The commission must file annual reports, with the first due by June 30, 2026, and may propose new legislation based on its findings.
