What changed in the latest version
28 added · 27 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest amendment to Senate Bill No. 2224 changes how the attorney general handles potential violations of gaming rules. Instead of requiring a formal hearing for all cases, the amendment allows for informal discussions and mediation first, which could lead to quicker resolutions without a hearing. This change aims to make the process more flexible and efficient, potentially easing the burden on both the attorney general's office and those involved in gaming operations. Additionally, the funding provision has been adjusted to specify support for the operations of the gaming commission for a specific biennium.
