AZ SB1284

Amends Section 5-602.01 of Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the Department of Gaming's authority to impose civil penalties.

Changes the procedure for depositing civil penalties collected by the department from the general language of "transferred to the state treasurer for deposit" to the specific statutory procedure outlined in sections 35-146 and 35-147.

Maintains existing civil penalty authority: up to $5,000 per day (maximum $25,000 total) against certificate holders, or up to $500 for violations not constituting grounds for revocation.

Preserves the department's requirement to consider violation seriousness and financial impact on certificate holders when determining penalty amounts.

Confirms that the Attorney General may file court actions in superior court to recover civil penalties imposed under this section.
