This bill amends subsection 4 of section 53-06.1-01.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the rules established by the state gaming commission for the regulation of electronic pull tab games. The amendment specifies that while the commission retains the authority to adopt rules for various aspects of the gaming industry, it explicitly prohibits the adoption of any rule that would require electronic pull tab games or deals to be closed at the end of a quarter. Instead, the commission may implement a rule that mandates the generation and printing of a report at the end of each quarter.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions that outline the commission's responsibilities, including the administration and regulation of gaming activities, ensuring fair play, and protecting the public interest. It emphasizes the importance of recordkeeping, tax compliance, and the proper use of gaming proceeds for educational and charitable purposes. The changes aim to provide flexibility in the operation of electronic pull tab games while still upholding regulatory standards.
