Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment requires that any person who
				  conducts or operates bingo games not receive remuneration and that no part-time
				  employee or staff member of the licensed organization be employed in the
				  management, conduct, or operation of the bingo games unless authorized by the
				  commission.
(1) No full-time
				employee or full-time staff member employed by an organization licensed to
				conduct bingo may participate in the management, conduct or operation of bingo
				games until the time that the organization has submitted proof on forms
				prescribed by the commission to verify the eligibility of the employee or staff
				member to participate in the management, conduct, or operation of bingo. The
				commission shall approve or disapprove the participation of the full-time
				employee or full-time staff member within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
				proof of eligibility submitted by the organization. The commission may
				immediately suspend the participation of any full-time employee or full-time
				staff member upon determination by the commission that the employee or staff
				member is no longer eligible to participate in the management, conduct, or
				operation of bingo.
(2) The
				organization of any full-time employee or full-time staff member whose
				participation has been disapproved or suspended by the commission may resubmit
				proof on forms prescribed by the commission to verify the employee or staff
				member's eligibility to participate in the management, conduct, or operation of
				bingo at any time following the commission's disapproval or suspension of the
				employee or staff member's participation. The commission shall sustain, modify,
				or rescind the suspension of the full-time employee or full-time staff member
				or approve or disapprove the participation of the employee or staff member
				within thirty (30) days of receipt of the proof of eligibility resubmitted by
				the organization. No organization, without prior written permission from the
				commission, may resubmit proof of eligibility more than two (2) times within a
				one (1)-year period for any full-time employee or full-time staff member whose
				participation has been disapproved or suspended by the commission.
(3) The burden of proof as to the eligibility
				of a full-time employee or full-time staff member to participate in the
				management, conduct, or operation of bingo shall at all times rest with the
				organization seeking approval for the employee or staff member's participation.
				The approval, disapproval, or suspension of the participation of a full-time
				employee or full-time staff member shall be within the sole discretion of the
				commission.
(4) Any person who is a
				duly ordained member of the clergy and who is a member of the church or church
				organization licensed to conduct bingo may participate in the management,
				conduct or operation of the organization's licensed bingo games without
				securing the approval of the commission.
(5) No part-time employee or part-time staff
				member of the organization licensed to conduct bingo may participate in the
				management, conduct, or operation of the organization's licensed bingo games
				without the prior approval of the commission.
(6) No person may receive remuneration for
				conducting or operating a bingo game.
