ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Missouri Gaming Commission (GAM) and the Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol each state this proposal would not fiscally impact their respective agencies.
GAM states that background checks are already being conducted, and this proposal is necessary to satisfy requirements of the U.S. Department of Justice. If the statutes regarding background checks for the Missouri Gaming Commission fail to come into compliance with Public Law 92-544, GAM assumes they will be unable to continue these checks.

DESCRIPTION
The proposal 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 legislation would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. The proposal, however is necessary for the Federal Bureau of Investigations to continue performing fingerprint background checks for the Missouri Gaming Commission.
