 Good morning. Today is Thursday, July 2nd, 2020. This is a public hearing before the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. I am Commissioner Bruce Stebbins of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. We are convening this hearing pursuant to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 30A, Section 2. Given the unprecedented circumstances resulting from the global pandemic, Governor Baker issued an order suspending certain provisions of the open meeting law to protect the health and safety of individuals interested in attending public meetings. Keeping with that order, the commission will convene this hearing using remote collaboration technology. I will ask that attendees please mute themselves until they speak to help keep background noise down to a minimum. Also, please note that the commission is recording this hearing. The purpose of this hearing is to offer any interested person or group an opportunity to comment on the commission's proposed regulations. Once we begin, anybody who wishes to comment on the proposal may state their name and be recognized. They may then proceed to offer their comments. The agenda today pertains to the following items. 205CMR 109.00, authority of commission to act in emergency situation. This new regulation currently adopted by emergency enables the commission and the IEPB to issue orders and or establish procedures to be followed by the gaming licensees immediately in the event of an emergency situation. The second regulation is 205CMR 138.68, expiration of gaming related obligations owed to patrons, payment to the gaming revenue fund. This amended regulation currently adopted by emergency clarifies that the one-year period a casino patron has to claim winnings shall not include any period of time that a casino is not in operation. After we hear comments, we will close this public hearing. We will then review the proposals including consideration of any comments for final approval as part of our scheduled meeting which will follow this hearing. We will now hear comments on the proposal. I ask that any speaker please identify themselves before commenting to help facilitate everyone's opportunity to comment in the use of technology to conduct this meeting. If you are accessing this meeting virtually, you may signify your interest in making comments by sending a note or raising your hand as you move your cursor around. You will see those options pop up on the bottom of the screen. If you are dialing into this meeting by phone, I will invite comments and make sure that everyone wishing to comment has that opportunity. With that, we will now open this hearing for comments. I see we have about eight participants. A number of people are muted. Is there anybody who would like to step forward and offer any comments? I know we might be dealing with some new technology for some of you, so feel free to take your time and comment if you feel appropriate. Shari, do you remember what the instructions are for anybody who might be on the phone but wants to unmute their phone? Star six. Star six, if you are on the phone and need to unmute it, to weigh in and offer any comment. At this time we are not seeing any folks wishing to step forward and offer comment. I will temporarily suspend this hearing and reconvene it at 9.50 to see if anybody else has joined us or at that time anybody is interested in making comments. I will give us plenty of time to hear comments prior to the start of our 10 a.m. full commission meeting. At this time, I will suspend the hearing until 9.50 a.m. Thank you. We are reconvening this public hearing in the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to take testimony on changes to regulations 205CMR109, authority of the commission to act in emergency situation, and 205CMR138.68 exploration of gaming-related obligations owed to patrons' payment to the gaming revenue fund. We invite anybody who is joining us remotely if they would like to offer any comment or thoughts on the proposed regulation changes. If you are dialing in by phone, just hit star 6 to unmute yourself. We would be happy to hear any comments or input you might wish to offer the commission. Not seeing anybody interested in wishing to offer any comment or input. At this point, Shara, we will close this regulatory hearing and thank everybody for their time and attendance this morning. The gaming commission will convene a full commission meeting beginning at 10 a.m. where these regulations will be on the agenda. Thank you very much for your time. Shara, we will stop recording and close this hearing. These regulations will actually be on the agenda at the next commission meeting. Next meeting. I'm sorry. No problem. It was a last-minute change. All right.
