The New York State Senate has passed a bill that requires the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services to create a problem gambling education program for those on self-exclusion lists.
The bill – Senate Bill 4207 – was introduced by Senator Joseph Addabbo. It will now be considered by the Assembly Alcohol and Drug Abuse Committee. If it passes the Assembly and receives gubernatorial assent, it will then become law.
