Sec.12-574-F2. General provisions

(a) Gaming policy board. The board may delegate any duty to the division concerning the regulation of pari-mutuel wagering or off-track betting as long as such delegation is not in conflict with chapters 226 and 226b of the Connecticut General Statutes.

(b) Applicability. All licensees and all persons wagering at or through off-track betting or parimutuel facilities shall be bound by the provisions of chapters 226 and 226b of the Connecticut General Statutes and sections 12-574-F1 to 12-574-F65, inclusive of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.

(c) Waiver. The gaming policy board or the executive director with the approval of the gaming policy board, in its discretion, may waive any regulation contained herein when such waiver shall be in the best interests of the state of Connecticut, greyhound racing, off-track betting or jai alai. Prior approval of the board shall not be required for waivers within the jurisdiction of the executive director or where the executive director finds that public health, safety or welfare requires emergency action, or is necessary to facilitate the daily operations of the facilities, provided the board shall be apprised at their next scheduled meeting of the waiver and the circumstances surrounding it. The board may approve or disapprove the continuance of such waiver.
