Lottery sales agent employees

# (a)

Permitted. A licensed lottery sales agent may utilize the services of its employees in the activities authorized under such agent's license. The agent shall assume full responsibility for the activities and their consequences of such employees. The division reserves the right to order that an employee not be engaged in the sale or exchange of lottery tickets. Any such determination of non-eligibility shall be final and shall be complied with promptly.

# (b)

Person in charge. Where the agent itself will not be directly involved in the sale or exchange of lottery tickets, the agent shall notify the division of a designated employee who shall be the person in charge responsible for managing the agent's lottery business. Such person in charge shall be subject to the approval of the

division. An agent shall notify the division in writing within 15 days whenever said person in charge is replaced.

# (c)

Agent strictly liable. In any proceedings initiated by the division against an agent it shall be no defense that an employee of that agent acted contrary to an order or that the agent did not participate in any violations. A lottery sales agent shall be held strictly liable for any violations of the act, and sections 12-568a-1 to 12-568a-23, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
