BOSTON — Individuals under the age of 21 would be prohibited from playing the relatively new form of sports wagering known as daily fantasy sports, under regulations outlined Thursday morning by Attorney General Maura Healey.
The regulations would also ban fantasy sports games in Massachusetts that are based on NCAA college sports and ban advertising for such games at high school and college campuses.
BOSTON – Ahead of the unanimous passage of what they said was the first Massachusetts public records overhaul in more than four decades on Wednesday, a key lawmaker in the House of Representatives said the measure would increase transparency without adding an unfunded mandate on cities and towns.
"As a former local official and someone who pays a lot of attention to municipal government, I don't view anything in this bill as an unfunded mandate," said Rep. Stephen Kulik (D-Worthington), vice chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. "Any public agency, including cities and towns, have responsibilities inherent to provide public access to the documents of what they do."
