Communications Technology

Communications Technology (a) Before installing or permitting the installation of any communications technology on the premises of a book, the book shall notify the Executive Director in writing of the location and number or other identifier of each communications technology and shall obtain the written approval of the Executive Director for each communications technology. The Executive Director may condition the approval in any manner the Executive Director considers appropriate. (b) Before a book accepts any wagering communications, the book must obtain the written approval of the Executive Director to accept such wagering communications and wagering instructions, and thereafter use only the communications technology approved for that purpose. The book must obtain written permission from the Executive Director by July 1st of each calendar year to continue using the communications technology. (c) As a condition to the granting of the privilege of having communications technology upon the licensed premises, the book shall be deemed to have consented to the authority of the Executive Director to require the immediate removal of any communications technology from the licensed premises at any time without prior notice of hearing. After any such removal, the book may request a hearing as to whether or not circumstances may warrant the permanent revocation of the privilege of having communications technology upon the premises. (d) Upon the request of the commission, a book shall provide a written consent for the commission to examine and copy the records of any telephone, telegraph, or other communications company or utility that pertain to the operation of the book.
