Title 58—RECREATION PENNSYLVANIA GAMING CONTROL BOARD [ 58 PA. CODE CH. 461b ] Corrective Amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3 [43 Pa.B. 4744]
[Saturday, August 17, 2013]The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3 (relating to gaming vouchers), as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau and published at 38 Pa.B. 354 (January 19, 2008), and the official text currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. The codification of the amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3 was inadvertently omitted from the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 401, April 2008).
Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3. The corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3 is effective as of April 5, 2008, the date the defective official text was announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
The correct version of 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3 appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulation.
