The department must issue regulations to strictly enforce the provisions of this chapter so as to prevent the licensure of an establishment or establishments that would allow machine operators to circumvent the prohibition against more than five machines being located on any premises. Nothing in this section, and the terms as they are defined in this chapter, shall be construed to be unenforceable because of the pendency of, or the failure to issue, any regulations by the department. This chapter must be liberally construed to supercede any regulation in existence after the effective date of this act that would impede the department in any way from strictly enforcing the provisions of this chapter regarding the prohibition against more than five machines being licensed on the same premises.
HISTORY: 1999 Act No. 125, Section 10.
