I dent if y the types and

number

of

persons, businesses

small

businesses

 as

defined

in

Section

 

of

the Regulatory

Review Act,

Ac t 76

of 2012

and

organizations

which will be affected

by

the

regulation.

How

are they affected?

All licensees

will be affected by th e

regulation. Additionally unless the

licensee

prohibits

the

possession

of

firearms and other

weapons

on

its

property, individuals with

a

valid

permit

to

cany

will

be

allowed

to

cany

firearms

inside

a licensed

casino

facility.

 16 List the

persons,

groups

or

entities,

including small businesses

that will b e required

to

comply with

the regulation.

Approximate

the

number that will

be

required

to comply.

Any

of the

twelve

licensees that

elect

to exercise

their common law

right

to

prohibit

the

possession of

firearms

and

other

weapons

on

their

proper ty will be required

to

comply

with

this

regulation. None of

the twelve licensees are small businesses.

 17 Identify the financial economic

and social impact

of

the regulation

on

individuals small

businesses,

businesses

and

labor

communities

and

other

public and

private

organizations. Evaluate

the

benefits expected

as a result of the

regulation.

The Legislature

amended Pennsylvania’s

firearms

laws

a nd i n so

doing

prohibited

the

PGCB f rom

regulating the possession

of

firearms

in

licensed

facil it ies. Because Act 10 of

201

 

preempted

the

PGCB’s

regulatory prohibition

it is no

longer

within the PGCB’s purview

to

comment

on

the

financial,

economic

or

social

impact

firearms

possession within

a

licensed facility would have on individuals or

businesses

or to evaluate the

benefits or

adverse

effects of removing

the weapons

prohibition.

 18 Explain how the benefits of the regulation outweigh any cost and adverse

effects.

Because

Ac t

10

of 2011

preempted the

PGCB’s regulatory

prohibition on

firearms,

it is

no

longer

within

the PGCB’s

purview

to

comment on

the f inancial , economic or

social impact

firearms possession

within

a licensed facility

would have on

individuals

or businesses or

to

evaluate

the benef it s or

adverse

effects

of the

regulatory amendment removing

the weapons prohibition

19

Provide

a

specific

estimate of the

costs

andi’or savings

to the

regulated

community associated with

compliance,

including any

legal,

accounting

or consulting procedures

which may be

required.

Explain

how the

dollar

estimates

were derived.

It is no t anticipated

that this rulemaking

will have

a

f iscal impact

on the regulated

community

provided

that

if

a

licensed facility

exercises its

common law

right

to

prohibit the

possession of firearms

and

other

weapons

within

its facility, the licensee

will

be

required

to post

signs

at all entrances.

It is

expected

that

one-time

signage costs

would

be

minimal.
