PENNSYLVANIA GAMING CONTROL BOARD

[ 58 PA. CODE CH. 461b ]

Corrective Amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3

[43 Pa.B. 4744]
[Saturday, August 17, 2013]

 The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3 (relating to gaming vouchers), as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau and published at 38 Pa.B. 354 (January 19, 2008), and the official text currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. The codification of the amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3 was inadvertently omitted from the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 401, April 2008).

 Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3. The corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3 is effective as of April 5, 2008, the date the defective official text was announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 The correct version of 58 Pa. Code § 461b.3 appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulation.

§ 461b.3. Gaming vouchers.

 (a) A gaming voucher may not expire. The value of gaming vouchers that have not been redeemed within 5 years of the date of issuance and a report containing the information required under subsection (b)(1)—(4) shall be forwarded to the State Treasurer as required under Article XIII.1 of The Fiscal Code (72 P. S. §§ 1301.1—1301.28a) regarding the disposition of abandoned and unclaimed property.

*  *  *  *  *

 (d) Any system of internal controls over the issuance and redemption of gaming vouchers must provide for the following:

 (1) Upon the presentation of a gaming voucher for redemption, the slot cashier or slot machine shall use the gaming voucher system to verify the validity of the serial number and value of the voucher, and if valid, the system must immediately cancel the voucher electronically and permit the redemption of the voucher for the value printed thereon. Prior to the redemption of a gaming voucher, the complete serial number of the unredeemed gaming voucher must only be available to the system.

 (2) The slot machine licensee shall maintain a record of all transactions in the gaming voucher system for at least 210 days from the date of the transaction.

 (3) Notwithstanding paragraph (2), the slot machine licensee shall maintain an unredeemed gaming voucher record containing the information required in subsection (b)(1)—(5), for gaming vouchers that have been issued but not redeemed. The record shall be stored in the system for a period of time approved by the Board, which must be at least 5 years from the date of issuance of the gaming voucher, provided that:

 (i) Any unredeemed gaming voucher record removed from the system after 5 years shall be stored and controlled in a manner approved by the Board.

 (ii) Any unredeemed gaming voucher record removed from the system is subject to the standard record retention provisions of this part.
