Subject of Possible Rule Making: The gambling commission is considering amending its punch board and pull-tab service supplier license rules, including marketing level restrictions for punch board and pull-tab gambling service suppliers.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The gambling commission accepted a rules petition requesting a rule change to the agency's marketing level restrictions for punch board and pull-tab gambling service suppliers. The petitioner requested that it be allowed to be a distributor and perform certain service supplier activities, such as training, to current and potential licensees for a fee, which is currently prohibited by rule. The petitioner contends that these changes will allow it to be a distributor and also offer service supplier activities for compensation.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.
