Establishes a fund for intercity passenger rail projects in Massachusetts using gaming revenue.

Massachusetts H3680 creates a fund for intercity passenger rail projects, specifically for the Route 2 Corridor. The fund, named the InterCity Regional Passenger Rail Fund, will receive 25% of gross gaming revenues from Region D gaming licensees. The fund will be used exclusively for rail transportation-related projects. The bill also amends the definition of gaming regions, including the addition of Region D, which consists of specific cities and towns in the Worcester Northern District Registry of Deeds.
