SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
House Bill 162 amends Section 60-2E-20 NMSA 1978
of the Gaming Control Act by deleting the requirement for a president or
commander of a nonprofit organization that holds or has applied for a license
to be certified individually.
Significant
Issues
This bill contains an emergency clause. According to the Gaming Control Board, this amendment to the Gaming Control Act arguably
gives the regulated entity broad discretion to determine who should be subject
to statutorily-imposed certification requirements. By doing so, the amendment could eliminate from certification
requirements persons who have substantial responsibility for the honesty and
security of gaming operations at licensed nonprofit organizations. If a nonprofit organization chose not to
designate as a key person a president or commander who exercised significant
influence over gaming operations, that person might not be subject to
regulatory scrutiny even though he or she was actively involved in the gaming
operations.
DUPLICATION
House Bill 162
duplicates Senate Bill 106 without the emergency clause.
