Bill > HB1290

This bill amends North Dakota's gaming regulations by modifying the state gaming commission's rulemaking authority specifically regarding electronic pull tab games. Currently, the gaming commission has broad powers to regulate the gaming industry, including establishing rules for game conduct, recordkeeping, equipment standards, and ensuring proceeds are used for legitimate purposes. The key change is that the commission is now explicitly prohibited from creating rules that mandate electronic pull tab games or deals must be closed at the end of a quarter, though they can still require a quarterly report to be generated and printed. Pull tab games are a type of lottery or gambling game where players pull a paper tab to reveal whether they've won a prize, and in this case, the electronic version is being addressed. The bill aims to provide more flexibility for gaming organizations by preventing mandatory quarterly closures of electronic pull tab games while maintaining oversight through reporting requirements.
