SUMMARY

 

     Synopsis of Bill

 

Senate Bill 210 amends Section 60-2E-5 NMSA 1978 changing the membership of the Gaming Control Board by: (1) increasing the governor-appointed public membership from three to four members, with the additional member being one who has knowledge and experience in business management and financing and (2) eliminating the chairman of the New Mexico Lottery Authority as an ex-officio member.  This bill also specifies that the appointed public member and the ex-officio member of the GCB, the chairman of the State Racing Commission, shall not receive salaries for their work of the Board but are entitled to per diem and mileage.  Additionally, the bill clarifies that the chair of the GCB is to be selected from the three full-time salaried members.

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

There should not be any additional fiscal impact to the GCB budget since the Board membership stays at five with two members still eligible for per diem and mileage and three still full-time salaried employees.
