Title 42 - LOUISIANA GAMING
Part III - Gaming Control Board
Chapter 23 - Compliance, Inspections and Investigations
Section III-2325 - Administrative Actions and Penalty Schedule
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. The board or division may initiate administrative action authorized by the Act for any violation of the Act or of the rules after notice of the proposed administrative action and after opportunity to request a hearing before the board.
B. The board or division may initiate administrative action authorized by the Act for any violation of any condition, restriction, or limitation imposed by the board on a license or permit.
C. The board or division may initiate administrative action authorized by the Act for violation of a licensee's or casino operator's internal controls as approved by the division.
D. Subject to the rights in the casino operating contract, administrative action includes revocation, suspension, finding of unsuitability, or conditioning of a license or permit, imposition of a civil penalty or such other costs as the board or division deems appropriate. The board or division may determine the appropriate sanction considering factors contained in the Act including, but not limited to:
E. The board or division may assess a civil penalty as provided for in the penalty schedule. The penalty schedule lists a base fine and proscriptive period for each violation committed by the licensee, casino operator or permittee. If the total amount of the penalty or penalties recommended by the division resulting from an inspection or investigation exceeds $300,000.00, the matter shall be forwarded to the board for administrative action.
F. The proscriptive period is the amount of time in which a prior violation is still considered active for purposes of consideration in assessment of penalties. A prior violation is a past violation of the same type which falls within the current violation's proscriptive period. The date of a prior violation shall be the date the licensee, casino operator, or permittee receives the significant action report or violation/inspection report. If one or more violations exist within the proscriptive period, the base fine shall be multiplied by a factor based on the total number of violations within the proscriptive period.
G. A violation of §2931 may result in a civil penalty in the same amount as provided in the penalty schedule for the respective violation.
