PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
GAMBLING COMMISSION
[Filed February 21, 2024, 2:50 p.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Creating a regulatory structure to allow centralized surveillance of Class F and house-banked card rooms.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 9.46.070.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Currently, chapter 230-15 WAC requires Class F and house-banked card room licensees to maintain analog or digital closed-circuit television systems within their licensed premises that are monitored by the licensee's employees. This rule making seeks to update the WAC to reflect advancements in technology that would allow for card rooms to implement centralized surveillance monitoring systems. This rule making may take the form of amending chapter 230-15 WAC and/or by creating a new rule.
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.
Process for Developing New Rule: Regular rule making.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Adam Amorine, Staff Attorney and Rules Coordinator, P.O. Box 42400, Olympia, WA 98504-2400, phone 360-486-3473, TTY 360-486-3637, email rules.coordinator@wsgc.wa.gov, website www.wsgc.wa.gov.
