PENNSYLVANIA GAMING CONTROL BOARD Application Schedule Amendment [35 Pa.B. 5592] The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Board), under authority contained in 4 Pa.C.S. § 1306 (relating to order of initial license issuance) and 58 Pa. Code § 441.2 (relating to initial slot machine application deadlines), adopted a schedule for the acceptance of applications for permanent Category 1 licenses, Category 2 licenses and Category 3 licenses, published at 35 Pa.B. 5338 (September 24, 2005). The Board also set a date of October 31, 2005, for the deadline for acceptance of conditional Category 1 applications.
Amendments
1. Deadline for Conditional Category 1 application submission. In answer to concerns from potential applicants as to the time frame for receipt of applications for Conditional Category 1 licenses, the Board has extended the deadline for these applications until December 28, 2005, to correspond with the deadline for receipt of all applications for slot machine licenses.
2. Submission of application by final harness racetrack licensee. In addition, the Board has been informed that the Harness Racing Commission has not yet awarded the remaining harness racing license available under 4 Pa.C.S. Part II (relating to Race Horse Industry Reform Act). As a result, the Board has also agreed to extend the date for receiving applications for conditional and permanent Category 1 licenses from the applicant that is awarded the remaining harness racing license to occur 30 days following the Commission's award of the license. If this 30-day period extends beyond the date for receiving all other applications for initial slot machine licenses, the application of the remaining harness racing licensee shall be considered an initial application for the purposes of 4 Pa.C.S. § 1301 (relating to authorized slot machine licenses) requiring that all initial applications be considered, approved, conditioned or denied collectively within 12 months following the time set by the Board at which time all applications are to be filed and deemed complete.
