PERMANENT RULES
Effective Date of Rule: July 1, 2009.
Purpose: Former WAC 230-04-140 stated "Public card room operators shall not employ any unlicensed person to perform duties for which a license is required and shall take all measures to prevent an unlicensed person from doing so." This rule was left out of the new rules simplification rules manual because it was felt that RCW 9.46.158 would suffice. However, it has been determined that this rule is important because it clarifies that card room operators are responsible for ensuring that their employees are properly licensed. The rule change clarifies that card room licensees are responsible for ensuring their card room employees are properly licensed.
