Conn. Agencies Regs § 12-562-2a — Creation and authority

The gaming policy board and the division of special revenue were originally established as agencies of the executive branch of state government by Public Act 79-404. The gaming policy board and the division of special revenue are statutorily reposed with the joint responsibility of administering and regulating legalized gaming activities within the state. The board and the division derive their authority primarily from Chapters 226, 226b, 229a and 98 of the Connecticut General Statutes and the Mashantucket Pequot Gaming Procedures and the Mohegan Tribe and State of Connecticut Tribal-State Compact.
