The New York State Senate has passed Senate Bill S.3632, which aims to address the growing issue of problem gambling and support individuals and families impacted by gambling addiction. Co-sponsored by Senator Joseph Addabbo, the bill seeks to establish a Problem Gambling Advisory Council to improve awareness, prevention, and treatment services across the state.
The passage of the bill coincides with Problem Gambling Awareness Month, an annual observance dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges of gambling addiction and reinforcing the commitment to helping those affected. Addabbo, Chair of the NYS Senate Racing, Gaming, and Wagering Committee, emphasized the need for resources as New York expands its gaming options.
