Dear Chairperson Lucido, Alternate Chairperson Maddock, and Committee Members:
Subject: Waiver Request
As the Regulatory Affairs Officer for the Department of Treasury, I request that the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) waive the remaining session days under the authority provided in the Administrative Procedures Act of 1969, MCL 24.245a(1)(d), for the following rule sets:
Internet Gaming Rules (2020-10 TY)
Internet Sports Betting Rules (2020-09 TY)
The rule sets were submitted to JCAR on October 8, 2020.
In support of the request, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (Board) offers the following:
As was recognized by the Legislature when it passed these two acts in December 2019, “it is in the best interest of this State and its citizens to regulate this activity by establishing a secure, responsible, fair, and legal system….” Thus, this request is respectfully made to the JCAR to waive the remaining session days.
Sincerely,
/s/ Margaret Patterson
