Artificial intelligence. Abortion. Guns. Marijuana. Minimum wages. Name a hot topic, and chances are good there's a new law about it taking effect in 2025 in one state or another. Many of the laws launching in January are a result of legislation passed this year. Others stem from ballot measures approved by voters. Some face legal challenges. Here's a look at some of the most notable state laws taking effect: FILE - Director of Photography Jac Cheairs and his son, actor Wyatt Cheairs, 11, take part in a rally by striking writers and actors outside Netflix studio in Los Angeles on Friday, July 14, 2023. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File) Hollywood stars and child influencers California, home to Hollywood and some of the largest technology companies, is seeking to rein in the artificial intelligence industry and put some parameters around social media stars. New laws seek to prevent the use of digital replicas of Hollywood actors and performers without permission and allow the estates of dead performers to sue over unauthorized AI use. Parents who profit from social media posts featuring their children will be required to set aside some earnings for their young influencers. A new law also allows children to sue their parents for failing to do so.

(Eric Kayne/AP Images for ParentsTogether, File) Social media limits New social media restrictions in several states face court challenges. A Florida law bans children under 14 from having social media accounts and requires parental consent for ages 14 and 15. But enforcement is being delayed because of a lawsuit filed by two associations for online companies, with a hearing scheduled for late February. A new Tennessee law also requires parental consent for minors to open accounts on social media. NetChoice, an industry group for online businesses, is challenging the law. Another new state law requires porn websites to verify that visitors are at least 18 years old. But the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry, has filed a challenge. Several new California measures aimed at combating political deepfakes are also being challenged, including one requiring large social media platforms to remove deceptive content related to elections and another allowing any individual to sue for damages over the use of AI to create fabricated images or videos in political ads.

The law was a priority for Democratic lawmakers who wanted to halt such policies passed by several districts. FILE - Christian F.

(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein, File) Abortion coverage Many states have passed laws limiting or protecting abortion rights since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a nationwide right to the procedure in 2022. One of the latest is the Democratic-led state of Delaware. A law there will require the state employee health plan and Medicaid plans for lower-income residents to cover abortions with no deductible, copayments or other cost-sharing requirements. FILE - Gov.

(Jeff Wheeler/Star Tribune via AP, File) Gun control A new Minnesota law prohibits guns with "binary triggers" that allow for more rapid fire, causing a weapon to fire one round when the trigger is pulled and another when it is released. In Delaware, a law adds colleges and universities to a list of school zones where guns are prohibited, with exceptions for those working in their official capacity such as law officers and commissioned security guards. Medical marijuana Kentucky is becoming the latest state to let people use marijuana for medical purposes. To apply for a state medical cannabis card, people must get written certification from a medical provider of a qualifying condition, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, epilepsy, chronic nausea or post-traumatic stress disorder. Nearly four-fifths of U.S. states have now legalized medical marijuana. Minimum wages Minimum wage workers in more than 20 states are due to receive raises in January. The highest minimum wages will be in Washington, California and Connecticut, all of which will top $16 an hour after modest increases. The largest increases are scheduled in Delaware, where the minimum wage will rise by $1.75 to $15 an hour, and in Nebraska, where a ballot measure approved by voters in 2022 will add $1.50 to the current minimum of $12 an hour. Twenty other states still follow the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. FILE - A man talks on his cell phone while driving in Los Angeles, Monday June 30, 2008. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian, File) Safer traveling In Oregon, using drugs on public transit will be considered a misdemeanor crime of interfering with public transportation. While the measure worked its way through the legislature, multiple transportation officials said drug use on buses and trains, and at transit stops and stations, was making passengers and drivers feel less safe. In Missouri, law enforcement officers have spent the past 16 months issuing warnings to motorists that handheld cellphone use is illegal. Starting with the new year, penalties will kick in: a $150 fine for the first violation, progressing to $500 for third and subsequent offenses and up to 15 years imprisonment if a driver using a cellphone cause an injury or death. But police must notice a primary violation, such as speeding or weaving across lanes, to cite motorists for violating the cellphone law. Montana is the only state that hasn't banned texting while driving, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

(Evert Nelson/The Capital-Journal via AP, File) Tax breaks Tenants in Arizona will no longer have to pay tax on their monthly rent, thanks to the repeal of a law that had allowed cities and towns to impose such taxes. While a victory for renters, the new law is a financial loss for governments. An analysis by Arizona's nonpartisan Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimated that $230 million would be lost in municipal tax revenue during the first full fiscal year of implementation. Meanwhile Alabama will offer tax credits to businesses that help employees with child care costs. Kansas is eliminating its 2% sales tax on groceries. It also is cutting individual income taxes by dropping the top tax rate, increasing a credit for child care expenses and exempting all Social Security income from taxes, among other things. Taxpayers are expected to save about $320 million a year going forward.

Former state Sen. George Young, an Oklahoma City Democrat, carried the bill in the Senate. "I think it's very important that people who have gone through trials and tribulations in their life, that we have a system that brings them back and allows them to participate as contributing citizens," Young said.

In a statement released by the White House, US President Joe Biden on Sunday expressed his grief over the accident and pledged support to South Korea. "Jill and I are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life that occurred as a result of the Jeju airlines accident in Muan, South Korea. As close allies, the American people share deep bonds of friendship with the South Korean people, and our thoughts and prayers are with those impacted by this tragedy. The US stands ready to provide any necessary assistance," the White House statement said. Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru extended his sympathies to the bereaved families on behalf of the government and the people of Japan. "I am deeply saddened by the loss of many precious lives due to the airplane accident that occurred in South Korea. On behalf of the Government and the people of Japan, I wish to express my sincere condolences for the loss of life and send my deepest sympathies to the bereaved families. My thoughts go out to all those who were injured, and I sincerely hope they will make a swift recovery," the statement from the Office of the Prime Minister of Japan said. India's External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, also expressed deep sorrow over the airplane crash. David Lammy, the United Kingdom's Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Affairs, and Penny Wong, Australia's Minister for Foreign Affairs, offered their condolences on the tragic accident. Chinese President Xi Jinping said he was "shocked" to learn of the crash, in a message to South Korea's acting President Choi Sang-mok. "I express our deep condolences to the victims, sincere sympathy for the victims' families, and wish those injured a speedy recovery," he said, quoted by China's state broadcaster CCTV. In a statement late on December 29, a spokesperson for Singapore's Foreign Affairs Ministry said: "The Singapore Government is saddened by the news of the tragic crash of Jeju Air Flight 2216 on December 29, 2024. We convey our deepest condolences to the government of South Korea and the families and loved ones of those who have perished. We wish the survivors a full recovery." "We are in contact with the South Korean authorities and there were no reports of Singaporeans on board the flight." EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen said she was "heartbroken to see images of the plane crash in Muan". "As your partner, Europe stands with you in this time of grief," the European Commission President said. Pope Francis, who visited South Korea a decade ago, told worshippers at the Vatican he joins "in prayer for the survivors and the dead". "My thoughts are with the many families in South Korea who are mourning today following the dramatic plane crash," Pope Francis said. France's Foreign Ministry said that Paris learnt "with great emotion the terrible toll" and sends condolences to the affected families. Germany's President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the crash is "yet another blow to the nation's heart" after "a difficult period" -- alluding to weeks of political turmoil in Seoul. "This is an incredible loss and pain" for the friends and families of those killed, Steinmeier said. "Profoundly saddened by the tragic incident," Greece's Foreign Affairs Ministry said on X, sending condolences "during this difficult time". Earlier, the South Korean authorities confirmed that 179 people were killed and two people were rescued out of 181 aboard following a plane crash in South Korea's Muan region, Yonhap news agency reported. The incident occurred on Sunday morning when a Jeju Air passenger jet, carrying 175 passengers and six crew members, belly-landed and exploded at Muan International Airport, the Yonhap news agency reported. The aircraft veered off the runway while landing, with its landing gear not deployed, skidding across the ground, hitting a concrete wall, and bursting into flames. South Korea's acting President Choi Sang-mok, also declared Muan County a special disaster zone and visited the crash site to direct search operations. Jeju Air CEO Kim E-bae further issued an apology and expressed condolences to the victims' families, taking full responsibility for the incident. The airline has promised full support for the surviving families, including financial assistance, citing its $1 billion insurance plan. "Regardless of the cause, I take full responsibility as the CEO," Kim said.

Login or signup to continue reading Townsville Mayor Troy Thompson was stood down for 12 months on full pay of $225,206 by the newly minted Local Government Minister Ann Leahy after ongoing controversy at the north Queensland council. He is unable to perform any of the duties of a councillor or mayor during this time. Mr Thompson said he was disappointed in the decision and rejected the allegations of corruption levelled against him, vowing to continue fighting to clear his name, "This has set a precedent for councillors across Queensland, that the state government may suspend a democratically elected member without a proper judicial process taking place," he said in a statement on Facebook on Friday. "Once the 12-month suspension is completed and I am cleared of all allegations, I look forward to returning to the role of mayor, as democratically elected by the people of Townsville." He promised to study "local laws, the act, meeting procedures and policies" during his suspension. Mr Thompson is being investigated by the state's corruption watchdog over matters including claims during his 2024 mayoral campaign that he served five years in the army. He later conceded on Nine Network's A Current Affair that he had misled voters about his military record, blaming "100-plus" concussions. It sparked a unanimous no-confidence council vote in Townsville, the country's biggest garrison city boasting more than 15,000 Australian Defence Force personnel. Mr Thompson has since resisted calls to stand down amid ongoing issues with colleagues. The state's former Labor government issued a show cause notice in one of its final acts before going into caretaker mode ahead of the state election. Opposition Leader Steven Miles said he was "glad sanity prevailed" and the LNP government agreed to stand down the embattled mayor. "Townsville is just too important to Queensland for its council to go on paralysed," he said in a statement. "That's why we started the show cause process and loaded the gun ready for the LNP to finally pull the trigger on Troy Thompson." Deputy Mayor Paul Jacob will take over the top job while Mr Thompson is stood down. Australian Associated Press DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team. Also includes evening update.

Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been having a contentious day with the referees in Saturday's game against the Kansas Jayhawks. Early in the game, Sanders was the subject of a brutal dirty hit that went uncalled when a Kansas defender dove at his knees after he threw a ball, leaving him crumpled on the turf. Fans went crazy on social media after no flat was thrown on the play. Later in the game, though, fans are now calling for Sanders to be ejected from the game after shoving one of the refs in the back during a skirmish that took place on the field. Nick Tre. Smith-Imagn Images During the play, Sanders got tackled and had a Kansas player roll over the top of him. While players started shoving each other after the whistle, Sanders got up and into the action, shoving an official who was trying to instill order. According to the rules, any player who comes into forcible contact with an official is to be disqualified from the game. "The officials can use their hands all they want to try to keep order but you cannot come back as a player and push an official," said Fox's Mike Pereira. "He's lucky that he wasn't ejected from the game." "He's lucky he wasn't ejected from the game." @MikePereira takes a closer look at Shedeur Sanders' push on the ref ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/SSESj7QtId Shedeur sanders shoved a ref for not calling shit all night and the other ref shoved him back lmaoo pic.twitter.com/FZQYBF14qe Shedeur Sanders just shoved a ref and didn’t get ejected, interesting 🤔 pic.twitter.com/uwdbrP0DHf "The officials can use their hands all they want to try to keep order but you cannot come back as a player and push an official...

If Colorado wants to keep its Big 12 Championship goals and College Football Playoff dreams alive, this is a must-win game. Of course, they're going to need Sanders to play smarter and stay on the field if that's going to happen. As tempers raise in this game with things coming down to the wire, we will certainly be watching how the emotions play out.

SOUTH LEBANON — Various media analyses dissect what will happen after the end of the 60-day truce between Lebanon and the Israeli occupation regime. No wonder Netanyahu may commit unprecedented or familiar aggression, however, that would not be in his favor, nor even in the favor of his US and Western allies. Following the vague fall of the Syrian government under Bashar al-Assad, Netanyahu and other Zionist officials have been intoxicated with an alleged “victory”, thinking that cutting off Hezbollah’s supply route through Syria would result in a complete elimination of the resistance front. After 66 days of aggression on Hezbollah, the occupation regime realized that there was no point in a ground war, knowing that it was very costly in terms of lives and equipment. The Zionist regime is in dire need of rehabilitating its army exhausted by the Gaza and Lebanon wars. Netanyahu himself raised this issue to justify his approval of the ceasefire. In parallel, the occupation regime has allocated 200 million shekels to facilitate the return of its colonial settlers to the occupied Palestinian territories in the north and to rebuild their demolished colonial settlements. Giora Zaltz, head of the so-called Upper Galilee Regional Council, called on the government and the IOF to “enable the return of the northern settlers to their homes.” Zaltz added, “If the achievement in the north does not allow for a return (of settlers) to their homes, the government should say so.” Speaking to Channel 12, Zaltz revealed that 65 percent of the settlers, i.e. about 200,000 have been “in a war zone” for 15 months. Obviously, Israel was forced to agree to the ceasefire after its warmongers realized that Hezbollah could not be defeated, otherwise, Netanyahu would have continued the war and finished the resistance off. Further, it seems from his statements that presently the most dangerous challenges are Iran and Yemen. Both the Zionist proxy and its American operator are aware of Hezbollah’s ability to withstand and resist long wars. They know that the movement will mull a broad range of options, including targeting vital and sensitive facilities inside the occupied Palestinian territories as it did on the last Sunday of the war, which put strong pressure on the enemy’s home front. It is worth noting that Washington was the side that relentlessly worked to stop the war and implement UN Resolution 1701; Hezbollah only agreed to its terms, not the other way around. Seemingly, President-elect Donald Trump does not prefer the option of a costly war in its classic form as he is set to assume power in the White House on January 20. Besides, Hezbollah, after quickly restoring its military and organizational structure and turning the challenge into an opportunity, is now a new organization with unknown leaders whose tactics are in conjunction with an arsenal of ballistic missiles and drones that are new. These are unexplored to the enemy. So far, and despite daily violations through which it is trying to impose a fait accompli, which Lebanon’s government, people, and resistance will surely resist, the occupation army has withdrawn from 38% of the border villages. Prime Minister Najib Mikati has informed concerned parties that nothing will deter the resistance from responding to the violations after the truce. Meanwhile, the monitoring committee for the implementation of UN Resolution 1701 continues to turn a blind eye to the daily violations to put social and political pressure on Hezbollah to get concessions, especially the election of president.Republican New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu suggesting on CNN on Sunday that billionaire Elon Musk is not influenced by money as he is expected to take on a role in President-elect Donald Trump 's incoming administration has raised eyebrows across social media. Newsweek has reached out to Sununu's office and Musk via email for comment. Why It Matters Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX who has been appointed by Trump to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency or (DOGE), alongside biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy , has been a staunch ally and financial backer of Trump's in this year's election cycle. The appointment of Musk has raised concerns as the billionaire, who frequently posts his political opinions on X, formerly Twitter , which he bought in October 2022, has continued to be a leading government contractor as government policy and congressional spending directly impacts his businesses. As one of Trump's top allies, Musk has also demonstrated his influence in the incoming administration, playing a key role in the collapse of the bipartisan spending agreement earlier this month. Musk urged Republican lawmakers to reject the bill, which some House Democrats allege was motivated by its restrictive investment provisions targeting China. Musk, who has reached a net worth of $436.8 billion, has had deep business ties with China and often speaks favorably of the country that shares a tense relationship with the U.S. and the Republican Party . What To Know Appearing on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, Sununu, who did not seek reelection this year, was asked by host Dana Bash about concerns that Musk's financial dealings with the government might impact how he approaches his new role in DOGE. "As much as people say, 'Well Elon is a billionaire outsider,' first, I don't mind that they're billionaires. I like people that are successful. What's the difference if they're a billionaire or broke? I'd rather have someone successful. And I like that it's an outsider, and an engineer, and not a politician," Sununu said. Bash noted that "one of the criticisms and the concerns is that he [Musk] has billions of dollars tied up in government contracts." "You don't see a conflict of interest here?" she asked the GOP governor. "Everyone has a conflict of interest at some level. The guy's worth 450 billion as of today and this month. So, I don't think he's doing it for the money," Sununu said. "He's doing it for the bigger project and the bigger vision of America. He doesn't need the dollars, he really doesn't. So, it's not about 'If I get involved in this, I'll get another little contract here or there.' That's nothing to him. I like the fact that in a way he's so rich he's so removed from the potential financial influence of it." Sununu's comments come after he previously endorsed former South Carolina Governor and ex-United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley in the 2024 Republican primary. After Haley dropped out of the race, Sununu, who has criticized Trump in the past, said he'd support his presidential bid. What People Are Saying Since Sununu's remarks on Sunday, some have taken to X to raise questions and concerns. CNN anchor Jim Sciutto wrote on X, "Where is the precedent for exempting the super rich from conflict of interest laws or standards in government or in business? Robber Baron era?" Eric Columbus, an Obama administration appointee to the Department of Justice (DOJ) wrote: "The world's richest man got that way by not caring about money. I am very smart, put me on TV." Media outlet MeidasTouch posted: "Imagine debasing yourself on live tv like this." Republicans against Trump wrote: "He obviously doesn't believe this crap, but he has to kiss President Musk's ring. So embarrassing." Steve Bannon previously told Newsweek via text message on Friday, "I've always been public about my deep reservations concerning Elon's financial ties to the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]—the Tesla joint venture underpins his entire business empire and they control it." Bannon also told Newsweek he doesn't believe that Musk didn't support the bipartisan spending bill over its China provisions. Musk's Financial Dealings Tesla has received various tax breaks and incentives to support its operations. Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada was given $330 million in tax breaks on the basis it invested $3.6 billion over 10 years in the factory's expansion, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported in 2023. The tax breaks were approved by the Nevada governor's Office of Economic Development, and in 2014, Tesla was also awarded $1.3 billion in incentives, the newspaper added. Musk's SpaceX company has also secured a number of major contracts with NASA , including a $2.89 billion agreement in April 2021 to develop a human lander that could safely carry the next two American astronauts to the lunar surface. The company has also been awarded contracts by the Department of Defense, along with other organizations to provide launch services for the U.S. Space Force. It was announced on June 13 that SpaceX, Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance (ULA) would receive contracts worth up to $5.6 billion across the fiscal years between 2025 and 2029. What Happens Next While DOGE does not currently exist and the president-elect didn't offer many details about how it would operate or how it would be staffed, if at all. Trump's statement when announcing the department last month said DOGE "will provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget."Falcons drafting Penix no longer a head-scratcher with rookie QB shining in place of benched Cousins

Ahmad al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, might be one of the most popular people on the planet right now. Nearly a month after his militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) shocked the world by ending the Assad family’s 53-year reign of power in Syria, the onetime detainee in a U.S. military prison in Iraq is now the de facto head of state in Syria. And to the victor go the spoils, including a long list of foreign delegations eager to meet him. Diplomats are tripping over themselves to score a sit-down with Sharaa, who not too long ago was viewed in Washington and European capitals as the head of an al-Qaida-affiliated terrorist organization. British officials made contact with HTS shortly after Syrian President Bashar Assad fled to Russia. The French sent a delegation to Damascus and are preparing to reopen their embassy in the Syrian capital. The European Union aims to do the same thing. The top U.S. diplomat responsible for the Middle East had a short session with Sharaa last week. Syria’s neighbors in the region aren’t far behind — the Turkish, Qatari and Jordanian foreign ministers had meetings with the HTS chief in a bid to press their priorities and determine how the new authorities intend to govern a country devastated by more than 13 years of civil war. It’s unlikely Sharaa has all the answers right now. While the victory against Assad’s forces was a triumph that HTS and other armed opposition groups were dreaming about for years, the jihadist-turned-statesman is now stuck with a lengthy to-do list. Fighting is one thing; governing is another. This is particularly true when the thing to be governed is a nation without sovereignty and a decent economy. The Assad family was as corrupt as it was repressive, personalizing all of its institutions, stripping the state of whatever assets it had and turning Syria into one of the world’s most efficient producers of illegal narcotics — all to pad the family’s wealth. Meanwhile, about 90 percent of the Syrian population lives below the poverty line. Syria may not have to deal with the hated Assads anymore, and it is no longer at war, but it’s not exactly at peace, either. Militias such as HTS, the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army and local armed units in Syria’s south coordinated with each other to oust a mutual adversary, but it’s unknown whether they will be able to cooperate with one another in building a future Syria. The Syrian Democratic Forces, a U.S.-supported, Kurdish-led militia in the northeast, is arguably Syria’s most powerful armed actor and is highly unlikely to disarm without big concessions, including a decentralized Syrian political order. This, of course, is precisely what HTS wants to avoid given that it’s now the new overlord of Damascus. Syria won’t be immune to foreign machinations, either. While U.S., Turkish, Saudi, Qatari, Israeli and European officials are predictably trumpeting respect for Syria’s territorial integrity, foreign powers have reason to influence what’s going on there. The Europeans, for instance, are talking about keeping sanctions on the Syrian economy unless the post-Assad administration closes Russia’s military bases and scrubs Syrian society of all Iranian influence. The Gulf states, which tried to persuade Assad to downgrade his ties to Iran, will seek to capitalize on the biggest change in the Middle East’s regional balance of power since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Turkey, which had unofficial ties with HTS for years when the group governed the Syrian province of Idlib, is now pushing Sharaa to get tougher on the very Syrian Kurdish groups the United States supports. Speaking of the United States, it’s back to the drawing board. Washington didn’t have great relations with Syria under the Assads. During President Hafez al-Assad’s long reign from 1971 to 2000, Syria was essentially a client state of the Soviet Union and a regional destabilizer, occupying next-door Lebanon for decades. Under son Bashar, the country turned into a key node of Iran’s so-called “axis of resistance,” allowing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to use Syrian territory to transport weapons to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. During the U.S. occupation of Iraq, Assad turned Damascus into a gateway for foreign jihadists who wanted to fight the Americans next door. With Assad now in Russia, Washington has a blank slate. President Joe Biden is on his way out, so how the U.S. ultimately responds will be determined by Donald Trump once he is inaugurated. Even so, senior U.S. officials have wasted no time trying to ingratiate themselves with Sharaa, who until last week had a $10 million FBI bounty on his head for terrorism offenses. Barbara Leaf, the State Department’s top Middle East official, spoke with him in Damascus last week to outline what Washington expects of the new authorities: The Syrian government must be inclusive and representative, ethnic and religious minorities need to be respected, and Syria must destroy all of the chemical weapons of the old regime. The new Syria must also combat terrorism in all its forms and transform itself into a benevolent state that doesn’t threaten its neighbors. Geir Pedersen, the United Nations’ special envoy for the Syrian conflict, has talked about a future of hope now that a post-Assad transition is underway. That’s all well and good. But we’re still a long way from that rosy scenario.

Both nonprofits partnered with different New Hampshire casinos — one significantly larger than the other. A new legislative proposal from State Rep. Dick Ames, a Jaffrey Democrat, seeks to reshape charitable gaming by capping the revenue any single nonprofit or charity can receive annually. The bill stems from concerns raised during state gaming commission meetings this year. Some charities voiced frustration that while a few rake in over $100,000 a year in donations, others struggle to make even $10,000. “It would be an interim step towards developing a better system,” said Ames. “But it would be fair and more systematically constructed.” The exact limits on annual revenue haven’t been finalized yet, Ames said. As for whether different types of charities — like booster clubs or veterans’ organizations — should have separate caps, he said that’s not something he plans to weigh in on. Meanwhile, another lawmaker wants replace historic horse racing machines with video lottery terminals that are similar to slot machines. State Rep. Fred Doucette, a Salem Republican, is championing this change to direct more money to both the state and charities. Article continues after... Cross|Word Flipart Typeshift SpellTower Really Bad Chess Operating historic horse racing machines is costly because of their complex technology and math, and right now, only 8.75% of the revenue from those machines goes to charities. But with video lottery terminals, Doucette says charities will get the same 35% of casino revenue in donations as they do from table games if they operate video lottery terminals. “The inevitability of going forward with these types of machines is beneficial to all involved, most importantly, the charities,” Doucette said, though he acknowledged that the faster pace of play might raise some concerns. “In my book, the state has an opportunity to get some more revenue. The market is there.” Under the current draft of the bill, a quarter percent of the revenue from these slot-like machines will be directed to problem gambling programs, while 4.75% will go to the retirement fund for police and fire personnel. At the same time, State Rep. Bill Ohm, a Nashua Republican, has introduced a proposal to let municipalities decide whether they want historic horse racing machines in their communities — much like how they can allow or ban Keno, the electronic lottery-style game. Right now, casinos must apply for historic horse racing licenses, and towns don’t have the option to opt-out. When charitable gaming was first allowed in New Hampshire, the goal wasn’t to open the door for big casinos. Instead, it was meant to support smaller, local operations. But over time, that’s turned into a boom of gaming halls, complete with restaurants and entertainment. “My bill is, to try to correct that situation I thought it’d be appropriate to put this decision in the hands of the voters,” said Ohm. “If we want that, then that’s fine, but let’s make sure that we go through the normal procedure, which is to have a new form of entertainment in the form of this historic horse machines be treated as we did Keno.” Ohm is also pushing for a new bill that would assess large gaming halls, like the ones in Salem and Nashua, based on the enterprise value of the property. One emerging bill would make historic horse racing facilities share a cut of the revenue from their machines with the communities where they’re located. Another one is focused on creating a charitable gaming oversight commission to ensure casinos are transparent about how they select charity partners and how the charities spend the money they receive. A recent projection from a gaming consultancy hired by a legislative commission suggests that New Hampshire’s gaming market could grow into a $1.1 billion industry in just three years, thanks to current trends and an influx of out-of-state casino operators. With new gaming venues popping up across the state, the gambling landscape is shifting from small gaming rooms to full-fledged entertainment complexes. Legislators are working to get ahead of this growing industry with new regulations and oversight. “It’s evolving rapidly, much more rapidly than anticipated,” said Ames. “There’s a lot to think about and a lot that was not anticipated in terms of the amount of money involved. The casinos that are participating in charitable gaming are becoming large and owned in most cases by out-of-state interests.” Sruthi Gopalakrishnan can be reached at sgopalakrishnan@cmonitor.com.

Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenal’s “landmark” win as the best Champions League performance of his reign. Incredibly, it was Arsenal ’s first away win in Europe for 13 months and also their first goals in the competition in their last five games. It was also Sporting Lisbon’s first defeat of the season. Arsenal made it a five-star show with goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard to prove they can be genuine challengers. When asked whether it was the best Champions League win of his tenure, Gunners boss Arteta said: “For sure. Especially against the opponent that we played in their home. I don’t think they’ve lost here in 18 months. “They’ve been in top form, they’ve been better than everyone they’ve played here. To play to that level with the fluidity that we’ve done today, very pleased. “The performance was there a few times when we have played big teams. We played PSG and we were exceptional again. We played Bayern and were exceptional. But we made some mistakes and it cost us. "That’s the level. We have to be able to cope. You have to make it happen. That creates belief. We need that consistency because the ability is there. It’s a big performance, a big win and we’re really happy.” Arteta said Arsenal’s win was a sign they are getting their players back to fitness but then revealed Gabriel went off injured and that will be a concern for the Gunners before they go to West Ham on Saturday. Arteta added: “We don’t know on Gabriel. We had to make the change because he was feeling some discomfort. We had to get him out. “It’s true that we’re still managing certain players. The level raises no doubt if we have the availability we’re going to be a really good side.” Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

According to the TOI report, this move follows the Telangana High Court’s recent directive for stricter action against illegal constructions, which include unauthorized floors, road encroachments, deviation from approved plans, and violations of building codes, such as construction without proper approvals or occupying government or private land. In the past five years, over 2.5 lakh writ petitions have been filed in the Telangana High Court over the past five years regarding illegal constructions in Hyderabad. During GHMC’s Prajavani program, around 40 to 50 percent petitions were regarding illegal constructions in Hyderabad. This year alone, TOI reports that GHMC has demolished over 1,000 illegal structures. However, enforcement is often delayed until complaints are lodged, and many property owners manage to evade scrutiny. GHMC Commissioner K Ilambarithi stated that guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are being developed to tackle illegal constructions in Hyderabad. Property owners ignoring orders against illegal constructions will face criminal charges under Section 223 of the BNS along with a 400 percent penalty on the original fee. The new online portal will track complaints from the initial notice to the final actions including the sealing and demolition of properties. GHMC also plans to work with the stamps and registration department to update the EC system, marking properties with illegal constructions in Hyderabad. This would alert potential buyers, creating a deterrent for owners engaged in unauthorized building activities. Officials further informed TOI that many property owners bypass regulations by obtaining permits for smaller structures and later adding illegal floors or converting residential spaces into commercial establishments to evade higher tax rates.

GCC Secretary-General reaffirms Gulf states’ support for stability in Lebanon

Legislative leaders announced this week who will chair committees in the next session, appointments that will shape the tenor of debate in the Minnesota House that will almost certainly be evenly divided in a rare tie between DFLers and Republicans. Bills are typically debated and amended in at least one committee before going before the full House for a vote. In a typical year, bills could pass out of committee on a partisan vote. But the two caucus leaders, Rep. Melissa Hortman, DFL-Brooklyn Park and Rep. Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring, say committees will consist of 14 representatives, seven from each party. And next year’s rules will require eight votes for a bill to pass out of committee — not just a majority of the representatives present. “So that we’re not playing the ‘who went to the bathroom’ game or, ‘whose car got stuck in the snow’” Hortman said. “That was part of the problem they encountered in 1979,” the last year the House was tied. Instead of trying to find a partisan advantage at any opportunity, Hortman and Demuth said they both want to work on a bipartisan basis. When a bill comes out of committee, Hortman said, it will already have bipartisan support. She compared the process of finding bipartisan agreement on a bill in committee to conference committees during divided government. When the DFL controlled the House and Republicans controlled the Senate from 2019 to 2022, she said, Republicans and Democrats had to come to agreements on bills. She and Demuth are confident that can happen again. Who is leading committees? In a normal year with one party in the majority, the majority party would appoint representatives to run committees. But this year, each committee will have two co-chairs, one from each party. Hortman said the plan is for the Republican and Democratic co-chairs to each lead about half of the committee meetings, setting the agenda for the day. Maybe that will mean a week of DFL-run meetings followed by a week of Republican-run meetings, she said, but more likely the partisan co-chairs will just alternate days. Demuth and Hortman said they worked together to decide how many committees there would be and which subjects they would work on. The caucuses appointed committee co-chairs independent of each other. Demuth said she was focused on seniority and subject-area expertise. One exception to seniority is the Rules and Legislative Administration committee. The Republican co-chair of that committee is Rep. Harry Niska, R-Ramsey, who was just elected to his second term this month. Demuth explained that Niska will chair that committee because the Republican caucus elected him their deputy leader. The Rules committee will be co-chaired by one of the more powerful Democrats in the House. Rep. Jamie Long, DFL-Minneapolis, the Rules DFL co-chair, is one of three representatives on the DFL’s “organizational team” working just under Hortman. What could this mean? With the two parties unlikely to find much common ground on policy legislation, most expect the main action of the 2025 legislative session will be the biennial budget, with a chance to pass a bonding bill to borrow for major one-time spending. Because Minnesota requires a 60% supermajority to pass a bonding bill, the process is typically more bipartisan. Recommendations for bonding go through the Capital Investment Committee, which will be co-chaired by Rep. Mary Franson, R-Alexandria, and Rep. Fue Lee, DFL-Minneapolis. Lee chaired the capital investment committee last session, and Franson was also a member. “The legislative process is all about finding compromise that can work,” Hortman said. “We are ready to get to work,” added Demuth.
