Item 1

 
The tribal gaming agency shall adopt standards of operation and
management to govern all gaming operations by the tribal gaming
operator.__The standards must protect the public interest in the
integrity of the gaming operations and must reduce the dangers
of unsuitable, unfair or illegal practices and methods and
activities in the conduct of gaming.__The initial standards of
operation and management must be substantially identical to
those currently in effect pursuant to the Connecticut Compact
and must be subject to the approval of the state gaming agency.__
The tribal gaming agency shall notify the state gaming agency of
any revision of the standards of operation and management and
either shall certify that the revisions to the standards will
have no material effect on the manner in which the standards
protect the public interest in the integrity of the gaming
operations and reduce the dangers of unsuitable, unfair or
illegal practices and methods and activities in the conduct of
gaming or shall request the approval of the state gaming agency
for the revised standards, which approval must be deemed granted
unless disapproved within 60 days of submission of the revised
standards.__The state gaming agency shall approve the revised
standards upon request unless it finds that those revised
standards would have a materially adverse impact on the public
interest in the integrity of the gaming operations and shall
disapprove only such portions of any proposed revised standards
that are determined to have a materially adverse impact on the
public interest and shall specify the reasons for the
disapproval. Any disapproval of revised standards by the state
gaming agency is subject to review in the manner provided by the
Maine Administrative Procedure Act.

 
§6308.__Rules

 
Not later than 90 days after the effective date of this
subchapter, the state gaming agency shall propose rules
providing for the licensing of gaming employees, the
registration of gaming services enterprises and, to the extent
that the scope of the standards of operation and management
adopted by the tribal gaming agency pursuant to section 6307
fail to cover aspects of the operation of the gaming facility
that are the subject of the Connecticut Compact, such other
aspects.__It is intended that such rules be substantially in
the form and substance of the corresponding provisions of the
Connecticut Compact.__Rules proposed by the state gaming
agency pursuant to this section are major substantive rules
pursuant to Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.

 
§6309.__State assessment for costs of oversight
