§ 328.306. Regulations of department
Currentness
(a) Authorization.--The department shall promulgate regulations to:
(1) Impose minimum standards and restrictions applicable to games of chance manufactured for sale in this Commonwealth, which may include standards and restrictions which specify the maximum number of chances available to be sold for any single game of chance or prize and such other standards and restrictions as the department deems necessary for the purposes of this chapter.1 The department shall consider standards adopted by the National Association of Gambling Regulatory Agencies and other standards commonly accepted in the industry.
(2) Establish procedures by which manufacturers may register and distributors of games of chance may apply for licensure on forms which the department shall provide. Procedures shall include a requirement that manufacturer and distributor applicants provide criminal history record information obtained from the Pennsylvania State Police under 18 Pa.C.S. § 9121(b) (relating to general regulations) for each officer and manager of the manufacturer's or distributor's organization and for any other individual specified by the department. As used in this paragraph, the term “criminal history record information” has the meaning given in 18 Pa.C.S. § 9102 (relating to definitions).
(3) Provide for the suspension or revocation of distribution licenses or manufacturer certificates for violations of this act or regulations of the department.
(3.1) Establish procedures to ensure that race night games are secure, random and totally dependent upon chance.
(4) Carry out other provisions of this act.
(b) Limitation on recordkeeping requirements.--This section shall not be construed to authorize the department to promulgate regulations providing for recordkeeping requirements for licensed eligible organizations which require unreasonable or unnecessary information or a repetitious listing of information. The department shall strive to keep such recordkeeping requirements from being an undue hardship or burden on licensed eligible organizations. Except as provided under section 701(b),2 the department may not require the retention of records for a period in excess of two years. If an individual prize is in excess of $600, the record shall include the name and address of the winner. An eligible organization shall provide each winner with a receipt of the value of the prize when the prize exceeds $600.
(c) (Reserved).
