SYNOPSIS AS ENACTED

BACKGROUND:

Some sections of the gambling chapter are lengthy and contain misplaced material.  The current organization causes confusion and makes the amendment process unwieldy.

SUMMARY:

The definition and authorized gambling activity sections of the gambling chapter are each divided into shorter sections.  The authorization to conduct wagering found in the definition section is placed in a separate section.  Other housekeeping changes are made.
