PA Right-to-Know Law



From: Bill Kearney commented on mcall.com.

Meanwhile sitting in our Senate in the Community, Economic & Recreational Development Committee since Dec. 5, 2011 is House-Bill 2009. This legislation makes the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board post on it’s website a description of all requests for access to records under the act of February 14, 2008 known as the Right-to-Know Law. Now the reason this legislation has not come out of committee is because of two amendments that are attached to it. One amendment would make all table game taxes go to the Pa. property tax relief fund and the other one would make our casinos mail monthly statements to their patrons who are enrolled in casino Reward Card programs.

These statements would enable gamblers and their family members to spot a loved one's gambling problem before it gets out of hand. Who knows how many Pennsylvanians and their families would be in a better domestic and financial situation when being made aware, month after month, of their wins and mostly LOSSES in black and white.

You can help get this legislation passed by contacting your Pa. Senator and telling them you support HB-2009 and the amendments on it.
