1) To what benefit [by Anonymous Citizen on September 29, 2006]
Just what is the benefit to the casinos or the public of this "licensing"? Is it just another money grabbing "need to have to be able to work" tax? Will the applicants be checked for criminal records etc? What is the acceptance or rejection criteria for the licenses? Or will an OK from and maybe a contribution to your local politician be all the approval needed?

2) 2006 House Bill 6527 (Revise casino personnel licensure ) [by admin on January 1, 2001]
Introduced in the House on September 14, 2006, to exempt bartenders, cocktail waitresses, or other individuals engaged exclusively in preparing or serving food or beverages from the list of employees who are required to be licensed as a "gaming employee" to work in a casino, but expand the list to include essentially anyone who has any contact with the gambling activities, including everything from certain accounting activities to security workers, machine mechanics, and all the more direct activities, including dealers, cashiers, etc. Having a criminal record precludes an individual from getting a "gaming employee" license

The vote was 90 in favor, 12 opposed and 8 not voting
