21    disbursements incurred in the execution of official duties.
22        (5)  No person shall be appointed a member of  the  Board
23    or  continue  to  be  a  member of the Board who is, or whose
24    spouse, child  or  parent  is,  a  member  of  the  board  of

 2        (6)  Any member of  the  Board  may  be  removed  by  the

 7    he will faithfully execute the duties of his office according

 9    adopted  therewith  and  shall  give  bond  to  the  State of

11    Every  such  bond,  when duly executed and approved, shall be
12    recorded in the office of the Secretary of  State.   Whenever

14    Board  has  become  or  is  likely  to  become   invalid   or
15    insufficient, he shall require such member forthwith to renew
16    his  bond,  which  is  to  be  approved by the Governor.  Any

28    official  of,  or  has  a  financial interest in or financial
29    relation with, any operator engaged  in  gambling  operations
30    within  this  State or any organization engaged in conducting
31    horse racing within this State.  Any employee violating these
32    prohibitions shall be subject to termination of employment.
33        (9)  An Administrator shall perform any  and  all  duties
34    that   the  Board  shall  assign  him.   The  salary  of  the

 2    by  the Director of the Department and, in addition, he shall
 3    be reimbursed for all actual and necessary expenses  incurred
 4    by   him   in   discharge   of   his  official  duties.   The
 5    Administrator shall keep records of all  proceedings  of  the
 6    Board  and  shall  preserve all records, books, documents and
 7    other papers belonging to the Board or entrusted to its care.
 8    The Administrator shall devote his full time to the duties of
 9    the office and shall not hold any other office or employment.
10        (b)  The Board shall have general responsibility for  the

18        Board in writing within 5 days after service of notice of
19        the action of the Board.  Notice of  the  action  of  the
20        Board  shall  be served either by personal delivery or by

20        licensee regarding any investigative  procedures  of  the
21        State  which  are  unnecessarily  disruptive  of gambling
22        operations.  The need to inspect and investigate shall be
23        presumed at all times.  The disruption  of  a  licensee's
24        operations  shall  be  proved  by  clear  and  convincing
25        evidence,  and establish that:  (A) the procedures had no
26        reasonable  law  enforcement  purposes,   and   (B)   the
27        procedures  were so disruptive as to unreasonably inhibit
28        gambling operations;
29             (8)  To hold at least one meeting  each  quarter  of
30        the  fiscal  year.   In addition, special meetings may be

 7        members  to transact, perform or exercise en banc, except
 8        that, upon order of the Board, one of the  Board  members
 9        or  an  administrative  law judge designated by the Board
10        may conduct any hearing provided for under this Act or by

22        inspection  and  shall  accurately  reflect   all   Board
23        proceedings;
24             (10)  To  file  a  written  annual  report  with the
25        Governor  on  or  before  March  1  each  year  and  such

27        annual  report  shall include a statement of receipts and
28        disbursements by the Board, actions taken by  the  Board,

 4        (c)  The  Board  shall  have  jurisdiction over and shall
 5    supervise all gambling operations governed by this Act.   The
 6    Board shall have all powers necessary and proper to fully and
 7    effectively  execute  the  provisions of this Act, including,
 8    but not limited to, the following:
 9             (1)  To investigate  applicants  and  determine  the
10        eligibility  of  applicants  for  licenses  and to select
11        among competing  applicants  the  applicants  which  best

29             (4)  To enter the office, riverboats, facilities, or
30        other places of business of a licensee, where evidence of
31        the  compliance  or  noncompliance with the provisions of

11        financial or other statements of any licensee under  this
12        Act,  shall  be  kept in such manner as prescribed by the
13        Board  and  that  any  such  licensee  involved  in   the
14        ownership  or management of gambling operations submit to
15        the Board an annual balance sheet  and  profit  and  loss
16        statement,  list  of  the  stockholders  or other persons
17        having  a  1%  or  greater  beneficial  interest  in  the
18        gambling activities of  each  licensee,   and  any  other
19        information   the  Board  deems  necessary  in  order  to
20        effectively  administer   this   Act   and   all   rules,

28        to  the witnesses, when, in the judgment of the Board, it
29        is necessary to administer or enforce  this  Act  or  the
30        Board rules.
31             (10)  To prescribe a form to be used by any licensee

 7        employees  is  jeopardized  by  continuing  a riverboat's
 8        operation.  The suspension may remain in effect until the
 9        Board determines that the cause for suspension  has  been
10        abated.   The  Board may revoke the owners license upon a

14        or exclusion  of,  any  person  from  riverboat  gambling
15        facilities where such person is in violation of this Act,
16        rules  and regulations thereunder, or final orders of the
17        Board, or where such person's conduct  or  reputation  is
18        such  that  his  presence  within  the riverboat gambling
19        facilities may, in the opinion of the  Board,  call  into
20        question  the  honesty  and  integrity  of  the  gambling
21        operations  or  interfere  with  orderly conduct thereof;
22        provided that the propriety of such ejection or exclusion
23        is subject to subsequent hearing by the Board.
24             (13)  To   require   all   licensees   of   gambling
25        operations to utilize a cashless wagering system  whereby
26        all  players'  money  is  converted to tokens, electronic
27        cards, or chips which shall be used only for wagering  in
28        the gambling establishment.
29             (14)  (Blank).
30             (15)  To  suspend,  revoke  or restrict licenses, to
31        require the removal of a licensee or  an  employee  of  a
32        licensee  for  a violation of this Act or a Board rule or
33        for engaging in a  fraudulent  practice,  and  to  impose
34        civil  penalties  of up to $5,000 against individuals and
 
                            -60-              LRB9112814MWcsC
 1        up to $10,000 or an  amount  equal  to  the  daily  gross
 2        receipts, whichever is larger, against licensees for each
 3        violation  of any provision of the Act, any rules adopted
 4        by the Board, any order of the Board or any other  action
 5        which,  in  the  Board's  discretion,  is  a detriment or
 6        impediment to riverboat gambling operations.
 7             (16)  To  hire  employees  to  gather   information,
 8        conduct  investigations  and  carry  out  any other tasks
 9        contemplated under this Act.
10             (17)  To establish minimum levels of insurance to be
11        maintained by licensees.
12             (18)  To authorize  a  licensee  to  sell  or  serve
13        alcoholic  liquors, wine or beer as defined in the Liquor
14        Control Act of 1934 on board  a  riverboat  and  to  have
15        exclusive  authority  to establish the hours for sale and
16        consumption of alcoholic liquor  on  board  a  riverboat,
17        notwithstanding  any  provision of the Liquor Control Act
18        of 1934 or any local ordinance, and regardless of whether
19        the riverboat makes excursions.  The establishment of the
20        hours for sale and consumption  of  alcoholic  liquor  on
21        board  a  riverboat is an exclusive power and function of
22        the State.  A home rule unit may not establish the  hours
23        for  sale  and consumption of alcoholic liquor on board a
24        riverboat.  This amendatory Act of 1991 is a  denial  and
25        limitation  of  home  rule  powers  and  functions  under
26        subsection  (h)  of  Section  6  of  Article  VII  of the
27        Illinois Constitution.

33        acts of God or other extreme circumstances.
34             (20)  To delegate the execution of any of its powers
