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 provisions that allow the attorney general to impose fines on a broader range of entities, including the owner of an authorized site, in addition to licensed organizations, distributors, and manufacturers. It specifies that fines can be imposed for non-compliance with gaming rules and may be in addition to or in lieu of license suspensions or revocations.

The bill also revises the fine structure for various entities. For organizations, the minimum fine is set at twenty-five dollars, with a maximum of two percent of the organization's average quarterly gross proceeds or five thousand dollars, whichever is greater. Distributors face a minimum fine of one hundred dollars, while manufacturers have a minimum fine of five hundred dollars. Additionally, owners of authorized sites will incur a minimum fine of two hundred fifty dollars, capped at two thousand five hundred dollars. These changes aim to enhance compliance and enforcement within the gaming industry in North Dakota.
