ORDERS:
CONSENT DECREE
AGREEMENT
This matter came before the Court upon the appeal from the
Final Determination of the Petitioner by the Respondent. The Respondent is
alleged to have sold pull tabs within a licensed bingo hall in violation of SC
Code Ann. Section 12-21-4000(15), on two separate occasions. Hence, the two
violations listed were a first and second violation of the law cited herein.
Now, as the parties to this action wish to conclusively
resolve this matter, the Petitioner and Respondent hereby agree to the
following:
1) The Respondent will pay a penalty of $325.00 for each
violation as stated, for a total of $650.00 to resolve both cases;
2) The Petitioner hereby accepts this as a reasonable
resolution to the cases in dispute;
3) The Respondent hereby agrees not to sell pull tabs
within its licensed bingo halls unless and until it is legally determined that
this can be done by an act of the State of South Carolina, a validly entered
order of a Court of competent jurisdiction allowing the sale or such pull tabs
or preventing the State from enforcing Section 12-21-4000(15), or if said law
is repealed or amended to allow the sale of pull tabs; &
4) Both parties hereby make this proposal in good faith and
encourage the Administrative Law Court to accept the same as a full and fair
resolution to the cases at issue.
WE HEREBY CONSENT:
