HB 299 Original 2018 Regular Session Chad Brown
Abstract: Amends the definition of "service entity" with respect to those persons who repair,
service, inspect, and examine video draw poker devices.
Present law, relative to video draw poker, provides for the licensing of service entities by the Gaming
Control Board, and defines a "service entity" as any person other than a distributor or device owner
who repairs, services, inspects, or examines video draw poker devices in the presence of a device
owner or owner's employee.
Proposed law retains present law except it amends the definition of "service entity" to remove the
qualifying language that the repair, service, inspection, or examination of the device be conducted
in the presence of the device owner or owner's employee.
