- Specify the format and content requirements for the annual report to ensure consistency and transparency
Affected Parties and Impacts:

- State lawmakers and policymakers who would use the report's data and analysis to guide decisions related to the gaming industry
- Residents and communities across Massachusetts that are impacted by the presence of casinos and sports betting operations
