Bill Summary

AN ACT concerning crimes, punishment and criminal procedure; relating to gambling devices; changing the age for determining when a slot machine is an antique for purposes of exempting such device from criminal gambling statutes; amending K.S.A. 21-6407 and 21-6408 and repealing the existing sections.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Kansas law to change the definition of an "antique slot machine" for the purpose of exempting such devices from criminal gambling statutes, specifically by requiring that the slot machine be manufactured at least 50 years prior to the date the offense was committed, rather than prior to the year 1950. This change impacts laws related to dealing in gambling devices and possessing gambling devices, providing a defense if the slot machine is an antique and was not operated for gambling purposes. The bill also makes conforming changes to references to federal law, such as the federal gambling devices act of 1962, which regulates interstate commerce in gambling devices.
