Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation will require gaming facilities to post signs in a prominent manner within reasonable proximity to every exit and entrance of a gambling facility, regulated by the division of horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering and the division of gaming.
Summary of specific provisions
