The bill amends subsection 10 of section 53-06.1-15.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the authority of the attorney general to impose fines for gaming violations. The amendment introduces new categories of entities subject to fines, specifically including "owner of an authorized site," and clarifies that fines can be imposed in addition to or instead of license suspensions or revocations.

Additionally, the bill specifies the monetary fines for various entities based on their classification. For licensed organizations, the fine ranges from a minimum of twenty-five dollars to a maximum of two percent of the organization's average quarterly gross proceeds or five thousand dollars, whichever is greater. Distributors face fines starting at one hundred dollars and capping at five thousand dollars, while manufacturers have a minimum fine of five hundred dollars and a maximum of two hundred fifty thousand dollars. The newly added category of owners of authorized sites will incur fines ranging from two hundred fifty dollars to two thousand five hundred dollars.
