Full text of New Mexico New Mexico Statutes Annotated § 60-2E-30 — Licensing of distributors of gaming devices, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 60-2E-30. Licensing of distributors of gaming devices
A. It is unlawful for any person to operate, carry on, conduct or maintain any form
of distribution of any gaming device for use or play in New Mexico or any form of
distribution of any gaming device in New Mexico for use or play outside of New Mexico
without first obtaining and maintaining a distributor's or manufacturer's license. B. If the board revokes a distributor's license: (1) no new gaming device distributed by the person may be approved; (2) any previously approved gaming device distributed by the distributor is subject
to revocation of approval if the reasons for the revocation of the license also apply
to that gaming device; (3) no new gaming device or associated equipment distributed by the distributor may
be distributed, sold, transferred or offered for use or play in New Mexico; and (4) any association or agreement between the distributor and a gaming operator licensee
shall be terminated. An agreement between a distributor licensee and a gaming operator licensee shall
be deemed to include a provision for its termination without liability on the part
of either party upon a finding by the board that the other party is unsuitable. Failure to include that condition in the agreement is not a defense in any action
brought pursuant to this section to terminate the agreement. C. The board may inspect every gaming device that is distributed for use in New Mexico. D. In addition to all other fees and charges imposed by the Gaming Control Act, the
board may determine, charge and collect from each distributor an inspection fee, which
shall not exceed the actual cost of inspection and investigation.
