The new ethics rules were adopted by the Illinois gambling regulator’s emergency rulemaking authority. It enables the board to temporarily enforce rules, under particular circumstances, without having to go through the regular public notice and hearings processes. Rules adopted by the emergency authority are only valid for up to 150 days.
Commenting on their decision to skip the normal processes, Illinois Gambling Board Administrator Marcus Fruchter said that the purpose of the emergency rules was to “strengthen the board’s existing ethics requirements and enhance the transparency of the casino license selection process.”
The new rules are part of a recently approved massive gambling overhaul on the territory of the state that, among other things, includes the development of six new brick-and-mortar casinos and the authorization of sports betting.
