PERMANENT RULES
GAMBLING COMMISSION
[Filed May 10, 2018, 2:18 p.m., effective June 10, 2018]
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: The purpose of the rule changes in this fifth package are as follows:
•
WAC 230-05-125 sets the requirement that all licensees must submit a report of gross gambling receipts quarterly for each quarter they hold a license even if they paid their annual maximum license fee.
•
WAC 230-05-170 is new and adds a fee for linked bingo prize providers. This corrects a technical oversight as these providers were inadvertently excluded from the fee schedule changes made in package #1 filed on February 9, 2018, in WSR 18-05-026.
Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: New WAC 230-05-125 Report gross gambling receipts on the quarterly license report and 230-05-170 Fees for other businesses.
