But with technological updates increasing ever more quickly, does the regulatory system need to adapt? How should gaming work within other regulatory frameworks such as data privacy and security, banking and financial systems, and more to ensure that gaming regulation is complementary to the variety of other laws and regulations that gaming companies comply with? How can laws and regulations keep pace with technology that seemingly changes overnight? Chair: Representative Mike Finn, Massachusetts
