Subchapter History: Amdts Adopted 21 Com. Reg. 16997 (Dec. 15, 1999); Amdts Proposed 21 Com. Reg. 16931 (Oct. 15, 1999); Amdts Proposed 15 Com. Reg. 10526 (Apr. 15, 1993);* Proposed 13 Com.

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. On August 15, 1991 the Tinian Casino Gaming Control Commission published a notice of proposed “Procurement Regulations.” See 13 Com. Reg. 7819 (Aug. 15, 1991). On April 15, 1993, TCGCC published a notice of proposed amendments to the “TCGCC Procurement Regulations.” See 15 Com. Reg. 10526 (Apr. 15, 1993). Notices of adoption were never published. On December 15, 1999, TCGCC published a notice of adoption of amendments to §1-112(18) of the “TCGCC Procurement Regulations.” See 21 Com. Reg. 16997 (Dec. 15, 1999). The text of the amendments is published at 21 Com. Reg. 16931 (Oct. 15, 1999). Given the adoption of these amendments, the failure to adopt the original regulations appears to be an error. This subchapter, therefore, is reserved for the future adoption of procurement regulations. Tinian Local Law 14-1 (effective May 24, 2004) significantly amended the Revised Tinian Casino Gaming Control Act of 1989. [Reserved for the future adoption of Procurement Rules and Regulations.]
