Senate Committee Releases Its Proposed Gambling Legislation
The Senate Ways & Means Committee released its version of a bill to expand gambling in Massachusetts today. The bill includes several measures designed to mitigate the impact of gambling on nonprofit performing arts venues and other cultural organizations.
These measures differ in some ways from expanded gambling legislation passed by the state House of Representatives earlier this spring. The full Senate is scheduled to debate the bill, Senate 2495, starting next Wednesday. The final Senate bill must then be reconciled with the House version through a conference committee, then sent to the Governor, who can sign or veto it before the legislative session ends at the end of July.
The Massachusetts Cultural Council, is the state agency that funds the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences. The MCC has worked closely with a group of advocates from nonprofit performing arts centers across the state to ensure that those centers are protected from unfair competition from casino entertainment, and that the state devote a portion of future revenues from casinos to support the nonprofit cultural sector.
To learn more about the Senate Ways & Means propsals and how the MCC has advocated for the arts and culture during this debate, please visit the www.massculturalcouncil.org or contact Gregory Liakos, Communications Director at 617-727-3668 x343 or by email at greg.liakos@art.state.ma.us.
