HB 523 - The act requires the Gaming Commission to conduct a criminal history check, if the Commission feels it is warranted, on certain key persons seeking issuance or renewal of a bingo equipment and supplies manufacturer or supplier license. The Gaming Commission must also do a criminal history check, if the Commission feels it is warranted, on any person seeking employment with the Commission and any person seeking the issuance or renewal of an excursion gambling boat license.

This act is similar to SCS/SB 294 (2003).
