The annual report of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (under Section 71 of Chapter 23K and Section 23 of Chapter 23N of the General Laws) submitting its summary of key findings and recommendations from the fiscal year 2025 research agenda

HD 5506 requires the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to submit an annual report detailing findings and recommendations from its fiscal year 2025 research agenda, as mandated under Sections 71 of Chapter 23K and 23 of Chapter 23N of the General Laws. The report will cover studies on topics like the social and economic impacts of sports betting, problem gambling rates, youth health surveys, and public safety effects related to gambling. This procedural bill does not create new policy but mandates the Commission to compile and submit these research summaries to the legislature. It directly affects the Commission’s reporting obligations, not the public or businesses. The bill was placed on file in January 2026 and has no substantive policy changes.
