Consensus Rule Making Determination
This proposed rulemaking will correct cross-references in the New York State Gaming Commission’s Regulations. A recently adopted rulemaking moved the casino self-exclusion provisions from Part 5326 to a new Part 5402. This proposal would conform other provisions to cross-reference the newly numbered Part 5402. Due to the technical and non-controversial nature of these proposed amendments, no person is likely to object to the proposed revisions.
Job Impact Statement
A job impact statement is not required for this consensus rulemaking proposal because the proposed amendments will not adversely affect jobs or employment opportunities.
The proposal will make only technical changes to correct cross-references in the New York State Gaming Commission’s regulations.
The proposed amendments will not have an impact on jobs or employment opportunities and will not impose any adverse impact on jobs or employment opportunities.
