Here are the key changes from the Bills which PASSED in case you do not want to read them all.

(b) The cardroom operator may limit the amount wagered
in any game or series of games, but the maximum bet may not exceed $10 in value. There may not be more than three raises in any round of betting. The fee charged by the cardroom for participation in the game shall not be included in the calculation of the limitation on the bet amount provided in this paragraph.

However, a cardroom operator may conduct games
of Texas Hold-em without a betting limit if the required
player buy-in is no more than $100.

c) A tournament shall consist of a series of games.
The entry fee for a tournament, including any re-buys, may not exceed the maximum amount that could be wagered by a
participant in 10 like-kind, nontournament games under
paragraph (b)

d) A cardroom operator may award giveaways, jackpots,
and prizes to a player who holds certain combinations of cards specified by the cardroom operator

Any horserace, greyhound, or jai alai permitholder
licensed under this chapter may operate a cardroom at its
pari-mutuel facility between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 a.m.

HIGH-STAKES POKER TOURNAMENTS
a) A cardroom operator may host a televised
high-stakes poker tournament twice each year for 1 week at a
pari-mutuel facility that is authorized to operate cardrooms
during the hours that the pari-mutuel facility is open to
conduct business. Such a tournament may be conducted only once in any 6-month period.

I agree that the wording of "a required player buy-in is no more than $100." For non tournament NL Games is unclear because it dosn't set a max buyin.
It was most likely meant to limit the amount a player could lose on a given hand and will most likely and should be clarified to include a max buy-in.

Anyway this is a monumental leap forward from what we had!!!
