Preliminary Provisions; Onsite Shopkeepers Certification, Labor Organizations; and Slot Machine Licenses; Regulation No. 125-91 (#2708)On July 16, 2008, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Board). This rulemaking amends 58 Pa. Code Sections 438a.3, 441a.12 and 441a.13. The proposed regulation was published in the July 26, 2008 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on March 4, 2010.
This final-form regulation replaces the permitting requirements for individuals in labor organizations with registration requirements; and adds filing requirements for agreements that involve $500,000 or more per year.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (§ 1202 (b)(30) of the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act (Act)) (4 Pa.C.S. § 1202(b)(30) and related provisions of the Act) and the intention of the General Assembly.

This regulation is approved.
