(a)Licensed manufacturers of bell jar tickets, which shall include coin boards, merchandise boards, and seal cards, shall submit to the commission for approval any new, revised or modified bell jar ticket(s) that the licensed manufacturer intends to offer for sale or resale in New York State. The terms, “new,” “revised” or “modified” shall include the exclusive printing of the supplier-distributor name, logo or other symbol(s) on the tickets. The licensed manufacturer requesting review and approval of bell jar ticket(s) pursuant to this section shall provide the commission with the following:
(1)a sample, artist's rendering or color photocopy of the bell jar ticket(s) accompanied by a statement indicating the new, revised or modified feature(s) of the bell jar ticket. A sample of the original bell jar ticket shall also be submitted for comparison with the submission of revised or modified bell jar tickets;
(2)a sample, artist's rendering or color photocopy of the payout card for the bell jar ticket(s); and
(3)a sample, artist's rendering or color photocopy of the flare for the bell jar ticket(s).
(b)Within 30 days of receipt of such sample, artist's rendering or color photocopy, the commission shall approve or deny such submission. Following approval of a rendering of a bell jar ticket, seal card, merchandise board, or coin board by the commission, the manufacturer shall submit to the commission a sample of the printed bell jar ticket, seal card, merchandise board, coin board, payout card, and flare for such game. Such sample shall be submitted prior to the sale of the game to any licensed distributor for resale in this State. For coin boards and merchandise boards, nothing herein shall require the submittal of actual coins or merchandise as part of the approval process. Any licensed manufacturer who willfully violates the provision of this section shall:
(1)upon such first offense, have the manufacturer’s license suspended for a period of 30 days;
(2)upon such second offense, participate at a hearing to be conducted by the commission and surrender the manufacturer’s license for such period as recommended by the commission; and
(3)upon such third or subsequent offense, have the manufacturer’s license suspended for a period of one year and shall be guilty of a class E felony.
(c)No bell jar ticket(s), coin board(s), merchandise board(s) or seal card(s) submitted to the commission for approval shall be sold until such licensed manufacturer has received written approval from the commission that such bell jar ticket(s), coin board(s), merchandise board(s) or seal card(s) satisfies all commission requirements.
