   On June 25, 2008, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Board). This rulemaking adds 58 Pa. Code Chapter 443a. The proposed regulation was published in the July 12, 2008 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on October 15, 2008.

   This regulation adds a new chapter establishing circumstances under which the Board may appoint a trustee along with the general powers and duties of a trustee.

   We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (4 Pa.C.S. § 1202(b)(30)) and the intention of the General Assembly.
