North DakotaProposal would put North Dakota gaming rules under attorney general
The proposal would put gaming rulemaking in the attorney general's hands, covering how games are run, how records are kept, and how illegal gambling is detected.
What it does
The proposal would put the attorney general in charge of adopting rules for North Dakota gaming, including rules for running games, keeping records, and detecting illegal gambling.
The proposal would remove this section's rules for appointing gaming commissioners, who could serve, and their daily pay and expense reimbursement.
Argument forOne office could set rules for fair games, paid taxes, and illegal gambling, which may make gaming oversight easier to coordinate.
Argument againstGiving the attorney general broad rulemaking duties could concentrate gaming oversight in one office and affect how gaming groups are regulated.
More detail
The proposal would have the attorney general adopt rules to regulate gaming. The rules would cover how games are run, recordkeeping and reports, gaming equipment, and other listed parts of the industry.
The proposal would remove the gaming commission's membership, eligibility, and compensation provisions from this section. These provisions concern the state gaming commission and its members.
