Generally revise gaming laws
HB 787 aimed to revise gaming laws, primarily affecting gambling route operators who also hold alcoholic beverage licenses. The bill sought to prevent these operators from using financial data, acquired through their gambling business, to gain an unfair competitive advantage when acquiring or selling alcohol licenses. It also aimed to ensure route operators do not restrict the availability of video gambling machines to other alcoholic beverage licensees. Violations of these provisions could lead to the revocation or non-renewal of a route operator's license.
