[ 58 PA. CODE CHS. 439a AND 465a ]
Corrective Amendment to 58 Pa. Code Chapters 439a and 465a
[39 Pa.B. 1868]
[Saturday, April 11, 2009]The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 58 Pa. Code §§ 439a.7(b), 465a.12(c)(3) and 465a.20(b)(6), and (f) (relating to junket schedules; access badges and temporary access credentials; and personal check cashing), as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau and published at 38 Pa.B. 5652 (October 11, 2008) and the official text currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. The codification of the amendments set forth at 38 Pa.B. 5652 were inadvertently omitted from the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet 409, December 2008).
Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code §§ 439a.7(b), 465a.12(c)(3) and 465a.20(b)(6). The corrective amendment to §§ 439a.7(b), 465a.12(c)(3) and 465a.20(b)(6), is effective as of December 6, 2008, the date the defective text of Master Transmittal Sheet--409 was announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
The correct version of §§ 439a.7(b), 465a.12(c)(3) and 465a.20(b)(6) appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the sections.
