EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill eliminates the prohibition against allowing a person to utilize an electronic or mechanical device to receive cash that is located in the wagering area or on the gaming floor of a licensed pari-mutuel wagering or gambling game facility.
   The bill also eliminates the requirement that a licensed pari-mutuel wagering or gambling game facility, when technologically feasible, shall ensure that a person may voluntarily bar themselves from access to receive cash or credit on the wagering area or on the gaming floor of the licensed facility.
