The commission is also required to submit an annual report to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and develop a legislative budget request. It may adopt rules, subpoena witnesses, and contract with other state agencies for assistance. The commission must interpret and apply laws and administrative rules consistently with the gaming compact ratified in s. 285.710(3).
