    "content": "I support this Bill because it is conscious and sensitive to the business owners. Even when it protects our youths and all the people who participate in gaming, it also protects the business owners or investors. If you look at the transition period provided in this Bill, you will appreciate that it gives the investors ample time to re-organise themselves. Many a times, when a law or regulation is brought about or passed, we never cease to see the words “with immediate effect”. However, this Bill gives the business owners six months to re-organise themselves. Even when they apply for a fresh licence, if they qualify, they will not pay an extra penny for it for the length of period that their licence is still valid. This is very sensitive. It also enhances investment. Many a time, we have been crying that our rules are too stiff to cater or allow investors. This Bill cares for investors and gives them ample time for transition. However, it demands that they must also abide by the law."
