Georgia amusement businesses follow new procedures

The Georgia Lottery Corporation has broader authority to adopt rules, policies, and procedures for its operations and lottery games. Its coin-operated amusement machine licensing forms, rules, policies, and procedures under Article 3 follow Georgia’s Administrative Procedure Act. Hearings about disputes between Article 3 licensees also follow that act, except where another law specifically provides otherwise. Matters outside Article 3 remain exempt. Hearings under Code Section 50-27-102 follow the Georgia Arbitration Code. The law takes effect upon the Governor’s approval or upon becoming law without approval.
