Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Chapter 27 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the "Georgia Lottery for Education Act," so as to correct a reference; to provide for the application of the provisions of the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act to certain provisions of the Code relating to bona fide coin operated amusement machines; to provide for exemptions from the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act regarding the Georgia Lottery Corporation for certain matters not related to bona fide coin operated amusement machines; to provide for related matters; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Georgia Lottery for Education Act by modifying the administrative procedures governing the Georgia Lottery Corporation. Specifically, the bill clarifies which types of rules, regulations, and hearings are subject to the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act (GAPA). The changes specify that the promulgation of licensure, rules, regulations, policies, or procedures related to Article 3 of the chapter (which likely relates to bona fide coin-operated amusement machines) and administrative hearings regarding this article will now be subject to GAPA. The bill removes language about hearings related to disputes between licensees and instead provides that hearings under a specific code section will be held in accordance with the Georgia Arbitration Code. This technical amendment aims to provide more clarity and specificity about which administrative procedures apply to different aspects of the Georgia Lottery Corporation's operations, particularly those related to coin-operated amusement machines. The bill will become effective upon the Governor's approval or when it becomes law without approval, and it repeals all conflicting laws.
