Senator Marty Flynn is a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 1079, bipartisan legislation introduced to establish a regulatory and licensing framework for skill games in Pennsylvania. The legislation would allow qualifying businesses to continue operating the machines legally while establishing oversight and generating additional revenue for the Commonwealth. “I have always believed there is a way to support our small businesses while making sure these machines are properly regulated and taxed,” Senator Flynn continued. “We are talking about an industry worth approximately $1 billion annually that has been operating without paying its fair share in taxes. We had an opportunity to establish clear rules, protect consumers, and create a new source of recurring tax revenue that could help fund essential state programs and services while allowing small businesses to continue benefiting from these machines.
