disclosure statements of the board members to be filed prior to or at the time of confirmation.
Present law requires each employee or agent of the gaming enforcement division of the office of state
police (except secretarial and clerical personnel) to file an affidavit affirming that the employee and
the spouse of the employee do not have an economic interest in an applicant, licensee, or permittee.
Present law requires the affidavit of the employees to be filed at the time of employment or
appointment.
Proposed law retains present law but changes the filing deadline for the financial disclosure
statements of the members and the affidavits of the employees to no later that 15 days from the time
of confirmation, appointment, or employment, as applicable.
