Commission Comment: The Tinian Casino Gaming Control Act of 1989, Tinian Local Initiative 1 (effective Jan. 1, 1990) is codified at 10 CMC §§ 2511-25129. On August 18, 1993, the Superior Court issued an order approving and adopting a Revised Tinian Casino Gaming Control Act of 1989 (Revised Act). See Commonwealth v. Tinian Casino Gaming Control Comm’n, Civ. No. 91-0690 (N.M.I. Super. Ct. Aug. 18, 1993) (Order Approving and Adopting the Revised Tinian Casino Gaming Control Act of 1989), reprinted in the commission comment to 10 CMC § 25129. The Revised Act § 5(1) establishes the Tinian Casino Gaming Control Commission (TCGCC), charged with the administration of the Revised Act. Section 5(8)(c) grants TCGCC the responsibility to promulgate such regulations as in its judgment may be necessary to fulfill the policies of the Revised Act, in accordance with Commonwealth law. Revised Act § 121 further delineates the regulations TCGCC is authorized to promulgate.
