Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3770:2 - Video Lottery Gaming Terminals › Chapter 3770:2-3 - Video Lottery Licenses › Section 3770:2-3-06 - Video lottery licenses; fines

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) As determined by the director, monetary
			 fines may be imposed upon a video lottery sales agent who does not comply with
			 the Lottery Act, all rules, regulations, terms and conditions, policies, orders
			 and directives adopted, promulgated or issued by the commission or the director
			 which may include but may not be limited to a determination that a video
			 lottery sales agent has failed to comply with or violated any provisions set
			 forth in paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(3) of rule
			 3770:2-3-05
			 of the Administrative Code.
(B) Any
			 fines under this section may be in addition to or in lieu of a suspension or
			 revocation under rule
			 3770:2-3-05
			 of the Administrative Code.
(C) The
			 director may establish a schedule of fines that may be imposed pursuant to the
			 authority set forth herein. Said schedule, and any amendments or revisions
			 thereto, shall be approved by the director and made available to video lottery
			 sales agents prior to imposition of monetary fines thereunder. Nothing
			 contained on a fine schedule established by the director for video lottery
			 sales agents shall mandate imposition of a fine, but in the event that fines
			 are imposed, the video lottery sales agent fine schedule in effect at the time
			 of the event leading to a determination that a fine shall be imposed, shall be
			 applicable.
(D) When required to do
			 so by the Administrative Procedure Act, the director shall afford a hearing to
			 a video lottery sales agent affected by an order imposing a fine. Such hearings
			 shall be conducted by the director or a hearing examiner designated by the
			 director and shall comply with requirements for adjudication hearings set out
			 in the Administrative Procedure Act. The requirement of the Administrative
			 Procedure Act that adjudication hearings be afforded prior to a final decision
			 by the director to suspend or revoke a video lottery license may be waived
			 under circumstances such as non-payment of funds owed by a video lottery sales
			 agent, or for reasons related to the public safety, convenience or trust which
			 require immediate action. Further, as necessary for reasons related to public
			 safety, convenience or trust which require immediate action, the director may
			 order the immediate and indefinite disabling of all or a portion of the video
			 lottery operations and/or removal of video lottery equipment at a video lottery
			 sales agent's video lottery facility. The director, however, must continue to
			 comply with the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act in affording
			 the video lottery sales agent a subsequent opportunity for an adjudication
			 hearing.
