Ohio Code 3775.091 – Equity in sports gaming licensure
(A) The director of administrative services shall engage an independent consultant to conduct a study to determine whether, and the extent to which, qualified persons experience discrimination or disadvantage in the sports gaming industry on the basis of their membership in a racial minority group, their color or ethnicity, their gender, or their disability. The director shall provide the results of the study to the Ohio casino control commission and shall inform the commission whether, in the director’s opinion, the results of the study warrant action by the commission under division (B) of this section.
Terms Used In Ohio Code 3775.091
- Commission: means the Ohio casino control commission. See Ohio Code 3775.01
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Rule: includes regulation. See Ohio Code 1.59
- sports gaming: includes any system or method of wagering on sporting events that the Ohio casino control commission approves, including exchange wagering, parlays, spreads, over-under, moneyline, in-game wagering, single game bets, teaser bets, in-play bets, proposition bets, pools, pari-mutuel sports wagering pools, or straight bets. See Ohio Code 3775.01
(B) If the commission determines that the results of the study described in division (A) of this section so warrant, the commission shall establish goals to ensure that sports gaming licenses are issued to applicants described in division (A) of this section on an equitable basis with other applicants and shall disseminate information about the commission’s licensing goals through targeted media.
(C) The commission may require, by rule, that sports gaming proprietors pay the cost of disseminating information through targeted media under division (B) of this section.
