Bill > SF3323

This bill modifies Minnesota's gambling regulations by establishing new rules for how organizations can request reimbursement for fund losses related to gambling activities. Specifically, the bill prevents the gambling board from denying a fund loss request if the loss is due to theft of cash, inventory, or prizes, and the organization has filed timely reports with local law enforcement and the gambling board. However, the board can deny such a request if the organization has filed two or more fund loss requests in the past 12 months. If a fund loss request is denied, the board must provide a written explanation detailing the reasons for the denial and recommend corrective actions to prevent future losses. Importantly, the bill also stipulates that even if a fund loss request is denied, the organization will not be required to reimburse the gambling account from non-gambling funds if the loss resulted from theft. This provision appears designed to provide some financial protection for organizations operating lawful gambling activities while also encouraging them to implement strong security measures.
