    RULE SUMMARY

    1.  Is the rule being filed consistent with the requirements of the RC 119.032 review? No

    2.  Are you proposing this rule as a result of recent legislation? Yes

    Bill Number: HB519               General Assembly: 128           Sponsor: Book & Yuko

    3.  Statute prescribing the procedure in accordance with the agency is required to adopt the rule: 119.03

    4.  Statute(s) authorizing agency to adopt the rule: 3772.03

    5.  Statute(s) the rule, as filed, amplifies or implements: 3772.03

    6.  State the reason(s) for proposing (i.e., why are you filing,) this rule:

    Article XV, Section 6(C) of the Ohio Constitution and Chapter 3772. of the Revised Code require the Commission to ensure the integrity of casino gaming. Part and parcel to this requirement is the protection of casino facility patrons, which can be gleaned, in part, from the General Assembly's requirement that the

    Commission prescribe rules for how casino gaming should be conducted--i.e., minimum internal controls. This proposed rule is designed to effectuate that constitutional and statutory mandate by establishing one of the minimum internal controls.

    7.  If the rule is an AMENDMENT, then summarize the changes and the content of the proposed rule; If the rule type is RESCISSION, NEW or NO CHANGE, then summarize the content of the rule:

    This proposed rule relates directly to the minimum internal controls that casino operators must employ while conducting casino gaming. In particular, this rule requires the operators to develop minimum internal controls for securing the cashier's cage, main bank/vault, and count rooms.

    8.  If the rule incorporates a text or other material by reference and the agency claims the incorporation by reference is exempt from compliance with sections

    121.71 to 121.74 of the Revised Code because the text or other material is generally available to persons who reasonably can be expected to be affected by the rule, provide an explanation of how the text or other material is generally available to those persons:

    This response left blank because filer specified online that the rule does not incorporate a text or other material by reference.

    9.  If the rule incorporates a text or other material by reference, and it was infeasible for the agency to file the text or other material electronically, provide an explanation of why filing the text or other material electronically was infeasible:

    This response left blank because filer specified online that the rule does not incorporate a text or other material by reference.

    10.  If the rule is being rescinded and incorporates a text or other material by reference, and it was infeasible for the agency to file the text or other material, provide an explanation of why filing the text or other material was infeasible:

    Not Applicable.

    11.  If revising or refiling this rule, identify changes made from the previously filed version of this rule; if none, please state so. If applicable, indicate each specific paragraph of the rule that has been modified:

    This filing was modified to correct a punctuation error in the body of the proposed

    rule.

    12.  119.032 Rule Review Date:

    (If the rule is not exempt and you answered NO to question No. 1, provide the scheduled review date. If you answered YES to No. 1, the review date for this rule is the filing date.)

    NOTE: If the rule is not exempt at the time of final filing, two dates are required: the current review date plus a date not to exceed 5 years from the effective date for Amended rules or a date not to exceed 5 years from the review date for No Change rules.

    FISCAL ANALYSIS

    13.  Estimate the total amount by which this proposed rule would increase / decrease either revenues / expenditures for the agency during the current biennium (in dollars): Explain the net impact of the proposed changes to the budget of your agency/department.

    This will have no impact on revenues or expenditures. 0

    Not Applicable.

    14.  Identify the appropriation (by line item etc.) that authorizes each expenditure necessitated by the proposed rule:

    Not Applicable.

    15.  Provide a summary of the estimated cost of compliance with the rule to all directly affected persons. When appropriate, please include the source for your information/estimated costs, e.g. industry, CFR, internal/agency:

    This proposed rule is both sound business practice and industry standard for casino operators. The casino operators' costs for the rule comes in three stages. First, there is staff time required in preparing the minimum internal control plan. The amount of staff time required to develop and implement these standards and plans depends on a number of factors, including whether the operators already have

    well-developed internal controls that can be modified for compliance with Ohio's framework. For this, we must defer to the two casino operators for estimates on the staff time involved in creating their minimum internal control plans. Second, the operators incur costs as part of constructing their facilities in accordance with their

    internal controls. Because each operator designed their facilities differently and use different contractors, they are in the best position to assess any costs necessary to comply with this rule. Third, certain minimum internal control standards require that processes be established and followed, and those processes impact staff time. Again, we must defer to the operators regarding how efficiently they can follow their minimum internal controls.

    16.  Does this rule have a fiscal effect on school districts, counties, townships, or municipal corporations? No

    17.  Does this rule deal with environmental protection or contain a component dealing with environmental protection as defined in R. C. 121.39? No

    S.B. 2 (129th General Assembly) Questions

    18.  Has this rule been filed with the Common Sense Initiative Office pursuant to

    R.C. 121.82? Yes

    19.  Specific to this rule, answer the following:

    A.) Does this rule require a license, permit, or any other prior authorization to engage in or operate a line of business? No

    B.) Does this rule impose a criminal penalty, a civil penalty, or another sanction, or create a cause of action, for failure to comply with its terms? Yes

    Failure to comply with this proposed rule would prevent a casino operator from being authorized to conduct casino gaming in this state as well as may be the cause for an administrative action.

    C.) Does this rule require specific expenditures or the report of information as a condition of compliance? Yes

    This proposed rule requires each casino operator to provide, as part of its minimum internal control plan submission, a detailed description of the locations and functions of all casino cashiering areas, including each cashier's cage, main bank/vault, and count rooms.
