Short Summary
The provided legal document content pertains to variance procedures for bingo and raffles in New Mexico. It applies to bingo managers and licensees in the state. The document outlines the process for requesting a temporary exemption to any rule within the New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC) that is not directed by the New Mexico Bingo and Raffle Act. The bingo manager may submit a variance request, including the licensee’s information and the specific part of the NMAC for which the variance is sought. The New Mexico Gaming Control Board will review the request and respond within 30 days. Factors considered for granting or denying a variance include impact on game integrity, annual gross receipts, proximity of the licensed premise to financial institutions and other licensees, number of occasions per annum, staff (volunteer or paid), and regulatory compliance history. If a variance is granted, it may be valid for a specific period of time, not exceeding the license expiration date. The bingo manager may request to renew a variance with the license renewal application, and the board will independently review and respond within 30 days. The approved variance request must be posted adjacent to the license at the licensed premise. In case of a denial of a variance request, the bingo manager may submit an appeal to the board in writing within 30 days of notification of denial, following the guidelines specified in Subsection A of 15.4.14.9 NMAC.
