June 23, 2017 CSI Filing

Created by Executive Order 2011-01K, the Common Sense Initiative (CSI), and Senate Bill 2 of the 129th General Assembly, require state agencies, including the Casino Control Commission, to draft rules in collaboration with stakeholders, assess and justify any adverse impact on the business community (as defined by Senate Bill 2), and provide opportunity for the affected public to provide input on the rules.

The Ohio Casino Control Commission submitted the following proposed rule to the CSI office for review on June 23, 2017:

Brief Explanation of the Rule

This rule fulfills a statutory mandate in R.C. 3772.03(D)(24) and requires casino operators to establish internal controls for the investigation and certification that certain contractors who provide goods and/or services to a casino facility are qualified to do business in Ohio.

3772-10 Internal Control Systems (1 rule)

3772-10-30 (amendment), titled “Investigation and certification of contractors by casino operators.” This rule fulfills a statutory mandate in R.C. 3772.03(D)(24) and requires casino operators to establish internal controls for the investigation and certification that certain contractors who provide goods and/or services to a casino facility are qualified to do business in Ohio. There are two amendments to the rule. The first clarifies that casino operators need not obtain a certification from any person licensed or otherwise found suitable under R.C. Chapter 3772. The second amendment provides a small expansion to the list of exempted entities to include publicly-traded companies that are listed on a national securities exchange in the United States. This accounts for the fact that ownership of those companies could change many times throughout a trading day. The purpose of the amendments is to fulfill the Commission’s statutory mandate in a manner that acknowledges the limited practical restrictions that may arise from doing so.
