  • October 24, 2024 - Not Yet Filed - Proposed Casino Anti-Human Trafficking Rule.docx

  • October 25, 2024, Volume 48, Issue 43, Page 15042

    Section 3000.156 Administrator No Action Letters

    Synopsis: This proposed rulemaking establishes an Administrator No Action Letter process, which allows a licensee that is uncertain whether a particular action, arrangement, or undertaking would constitute a violation of the Illinois gaming laws or Illinois Gaming Board rules to request a No Action Letter from the Administrator to express the IGB staff's position on potential disciplinary action or to clarify an interpretation of statutory laws or rules. A licensee is limited to one No Action Letter Request in a 12-month period. The Administrator is not required to issue a No Action Letter in response to such a request. Importantly, No Action Letters do not constitute statements of Board policy and are based on the specific facts and circumstances presented in the No Action Letter Request. No Action Letters express only the IGB staff's positions and do not purport to express any legal conclusions or opinions. No Action Letters do not obligate the Board to take any action or prohibit the Board from taking any action. No Action letter process should not be used to delay or short-circuit other established IGB procedures or otherwise impact a pending matter.
