PENNSYLVANIA GAMING CONTROL BOARD Smoking in Licensed Facilities; Withdrawal of Regulation #125-92 [39 Pa.B. 2911]
[Saturday, June 6, 2009]On March 19, 2009, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) disapproved the final-form Regulation #125-92 (IRRC #2731). Under § 7 of the Regulatory Review Act, the Board had the option of proceeding with the adoption of the final-form regulation without revisions, revising or modifying the final-form regulation to respond to the objections raised by IRRC, or withdrawing the final-form regulation.
Because all of the operating licensed facilities have reached the maximum level for the designated smoking areas permitted under the Clean Indoor Air Act of 2008 (35 P. S. §§ 637.3 and 637.4) which eliminated the need for the regulation and because of the objections raised in IRRC's March 19, 2009 disapproval order, the Board voted on April 22, 2009, to withdraw this final-form rulemaking.
