Once the proposed language has been developed, the proposed Rules are published on the Division web page and a rulemaking workshop is scheduled. Stakeholders are invited to attend the workshop and are encouraged to provide comment and concerns regarding the proposed Rule language. Occasionally comments are solicited via email to stakeholders in lieu of an in person workshop.
The Division then files a Notice of Formal Rulemaking with the Secretary of State’s Office and the Dept. of Regulatory Affairs. No sooner than 30 days after the Notice is filed, the proposed Rules are heard at a public hearing during a meeting of the Gaming Commission. Stakeholders are welcome to attend rulemaking hearings at the monthly Commission meetings, where they may give testimony regarding proposed Rule changes. If the Commission votes to adopt the proposed changes they would become effective approximately 45 to 60 days after adoption. Adopted Rules are posted on the Division web page.
This is to notify you that there will be a hearing regarding proposed changes to Sports Betting Rule 1 General Rules and Regulations, Gaming Rule 8 Rules for Blackjack, and Gaming Rule 10 Rules for Poker, at the monthly Commission meeting on Thursday, June 18, 2020. The Division of Gaming offices are currently closed to the public. The June meeting may be held in person, may be held by video conference, or both. Stakeholders will be notified as far in advance as possible. The proposed Rule changes are linked below.
At the April 30, 2020, special Commission Meeting, the Commission approved emergency changes to Sports Betting Regulation 1.4 (15) in order to update the definition of “Proposition bet”. This amendment was made for clarification purposes. Emergency Rules expire after 120 days so this Rule change will be presented to the Commission at the June 2020 meeting in order to permanently adopt the change.
The owner of the game Blackjack Burnout (Regulation 30-899.25) has requested an update to the game rules that will allow retail licensees the option to use two or six standard 52 card decks to play this game.
Finally, Regulation 30-1099.52 will be presented at the June meeting in order to promulgate rules for a new game of poker, 3 Card Shine.
Stakeholders are invited to participate in this rulemaking process by submitting any comments or questions regarding the proposed Rule changes. Please send comments via e-mail to dor_gaming_rulemaking@state.co.us. All written comments must be received by the Division of Gaming no later than June 12, 2020.
