Limited Gaming Codify Executive Orders

By executive order, to allow for social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the governor:Suspended the operation of statutes prohibiting more than 7 players in the game of blackjack; Suspended the operation of statutes limiting a casino operator to 2 noncontiguous gaming areas within the casino; and Eliminated the requirement that an applicant for a limited gaming or sports betting license submit fingerprints simultaneously with the license application for purposes of conducting a fingerprint-based criminal history record check, instead allowing the applicant to submit fingerprints as a supplement to the application. The act codifies all 3 of these changes but specifies that final action on a license application cannot be taken until the results of the fingerprint-based criminal history record check are received.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
