Rule No.: RULE TITLE
61D-11.014: Cards
61D-11.0251: Security Plans
61D-11.031: Cashiers' Cage, Satellite Cages, and Accounting Controls
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect will be to implement changes in the rules listed above to implement the newly amended provisions of Section 849.086, Florida Statutes. The amendments are the result of Senate Bill 622, which give an effective date of July 1, 2010, for Chapter 2009-170, Laws of Florida. Rules are also being updated and clarified to implement other provisions of Section 849.086, Florida Statutes.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: The amendments to Section 849.086, Florida Statutes, made by Chapter 2010-170, Laws of Florida, enlarge the operating hours of licensed cardrooms at pari-mutuel wagering facilities and greatly increase the amounts wagered on poker and dominoes conducted at those facilities. A number of changes are required for accounting, security, and internal controls due to the greater amount of money that will be wagered as a result of the amendments. These three rules are part of the larger body of cardroom rules that have been duly noticed and workshopped and discussed, but were inadvertently omitted from the original workshop notice. Rule 61D-11.031, F.A.C., is being created and includes minimum accounting, internal control, and security requirements for cashiers’ cages.
SPECIFIC AUTHORITY: 550.0251(12), 849.086(4), (11) FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 849.086 FS.
