MODERATE

The bill was amended to clarify that employment restrictions for former gaming employees only apply if they held a stake in gaming outcomes or were in leadership roles, rather than just having any employment. The text was also updated to require former employees to quit their private jobs before starting work at the commission, and minor wording changes were made to improve clarity and consistency.

Scope change

The bill's scope was refined to narrow the definition of prohibited employment, now excluding employees who had no ownership stake or leadership role in their previous gaming jobs.

ELIGIBILITY

Changed the word 'prohibitions' to 'restrictions' to better reflect the specific nature of the rules regarding former employees.

Revised the criteria for exceptions to the employment ban, clarifying that the rules do not apply to employees who held no stake in gaming outcomes and were not shareholders, board members, or upper-management.

MODIFIED

Replaced 'not necessar- ily limited to' with 'not limited to' to remove ambiguity about whether the list of disinterested roles is exhaustive.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new requirement stating that current or former employees must terminate their employment with their private gaming corporation before they can begin working for the commission.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill title and committee status to reflect that the bill was amended and reprinted.
