PERMANENT RULES
Date of Adoption: November 17, 2000.
Purpose: Currently, this rule requires all changes in management positions to be reported to the commission. This enables staff to conduct background investigations on people involved in the management of a gambling operation. This amendment specifically lists which positions must be reported to the commission when changes are made to the management structure. By listing specific positions, redundancies are removed, i.e. persons who have already obtained a gambling license will not have to be reported, as they have already passed the background investigations and qualified for a gambling licensee.
