The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to clarify the regulation of electronic pull-tab devices and games. It stipulates that these devices and systems are not subject to changes in rules unless such changes are authorized by the legislature. Specifically, the bill introduces a provision that prevents the board from deactivating or prohibiting the use, lease, or sale of an authorized electronic pull-tab device or game, as long as it continues to meet the standards in effect at the time of its approval. This means that any new rules adopted after the approval date will not apply unless mandated by the legislature.

Additionally, the bill amends sections related to cumulative or carryover games and event games, ensuring that electronic pull-tab games are also subject to the rules in effect at the time of their approval. The effective date for these changes is set to be the day following final enactment. Overall, the bill aims to provide stability and predictability for organizations using electronic pull-tab devices by limiting the board's authority to impose new regulations retroactively.
