• Art.: Colorado Limited Gaming Act

Text

(1)
(a) The building in which limited gaming will be conducted and the areas where
limited gaming will occur shall meet safety standards and conditions for the
protection of life and property as determined by the local fire official and the local
building official. In making the determinations, the codes adopted by the director of
the division of fire prevention and control within the department of public safety
pursuant to section 24-33.5-1203.5 constitute the minimum safety standards for
limited gaming structures; except that, in connection with structures licensed for
limited gaming and operating on or before July 1, 2011, any newly adopted building
codes shall not be applied retroactively to structures that were newly constructed
or remodeled to accommodate licensed limited gaming.

(b) The local building official and the local historical preservation
commission shall work together to ensure that neither historical preservation of
existing buildings nor the safety of life are compromised.

(2) A certificate of compliance shall be issued to an applicant for a premises
license by the local fire and building officials, and approved by the division of fire
prevention and control. A copy of the local inspection report shall be filed with the
state division of fire prevention and control. Once the division has deemed that the
minimum requirements for fire prevention and control have been met, the division
shall approve the certificate of compliance within five working days from receipt of
the inspection report. If not acted upon within five days, the certificate of
compliance shall be considered approved. The certificate shall be current and valid
and shall cover the entire building where limited gaming is conducted.

(3) In advance of any structural or significant change to the building or areas
where limited gaming is conducted, the plans for the change shall be submitted by
the licensee holding a premises license to the local fire official and the local
building official for their review. No changes may be made to the building or areas
where limited gaming is conducted until the plans are approved by the local fire
official and the local building official.

(4) The division of fire prevention and control and the state historical society
shall provide technical assistance to the local building officials, the local fire
officials, the local historical preservation commissions, and the commission upon
request.

(5) The commission shall act as an appeals board for any owner, fire official,
building official, or the division of fire prevention and control who feels aggrieved
by fire and life safety requirements or the lack of fire and life safety standards in
buildings in which limited gaming will be conducted. If the commission fails to act
upon an appeal within fourteen days after its receipt by the commission, the
certificate of compliance shall be considered approved.
