twitterPlan eliminating government work cards approved
Wednesday, May 7, 2003 | 9:45 a.m.
CARSON CITY -- Casino employees would no longer need county and city-issued work cards, under a bill approved Tuesday by the Assembly Judiciary Committee.
SB432 would require workers in gambling-related positions to register through their jobs once every five years. The state Gaming Control Board would run criminal background checks through federal and state law enforcement.
The statewide registration proposal comes several months after the Nevada Gaming Commission implemented a statewide work card system approved by the 2001 Legislature.
That program was designed to save dealers, change-makers and other casino workers time and money by eliminating the need for multiple identification cards if they change jobs.
Regulators now want to get rid of the cards altogether -- saving the state costs of issuing them and transferring responsibility to casinos themselves.
