under the

Liquor Act 1982

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Liquor Act 1982.

J. RICHARD FACE, M.P.,

Minister for Gaming and Racing

Explanatory note

Clause 52V of the Liquor Regulation 1996 makes it an offence for a hotelier who is authorised to keep approved gaming devices to cash a cheque that is made out to a person other than the hotelier.

The object of this Regulation is to extend the ability of such hoteliers to accept cheques for cashing without committing an offence. This Regulation amends clause 52V to provide that a hotelier can cash a cheque that is made out to the hotel owner (including by reference to a name under which the hotel business is conducted).

This Regulation is made under the Liquor Act 1982, including section 156 (the general regulation-making power).
