(1) A person other than a manufacturer licensee or licensed agent shall not act as a bingo-raffle manufacturer within Colorado. The manufacture of electronic devices used as aids in the game of bingo, and the printing of raffle tickets other than pull tabs, as designed and requested by a licensee, does not constitute the manufacture of games of chance equipment; except that such electronic devices are subject to the reporting requirements of subsections (4) and (5) of this section, and the fees established by the licensing authority in accordance with section 24-21-606 (2) and subsection (4) of this section. (2) An individual shall not act for or represent a landlord, manufacturer, or supplier licensee with respect to an activity covered by such license unless such individual is the licensee's owner, officer, director, partner, member, or ten percent or more shareholder of record with the licensing authority, or is the manufacturer's or supplier's licensed agent. A manufacturer or supplier licensee shall not allow any person not authorized by this subsection (2) to represent it or serve as its agent with regard to any Colorado transaction. (3) Except to the extent otherwise provided in section 24-21-615 (1), a manufacturer or supplier licensee or licensed agent shall not buy, receive, sell, lease, furnish, or distribute any pull tabs, bingo cards or sheets, electronic devices used as aids in the game of bingo, or other games of chance equipment from or to any person within Colorado other than manufacturer or supplier licensees or agents and bingo-raffle licensees; except that: (a) A landlord licensee, supplier, or manufacturer or its agent may sell, donate, or distribute cards, sheets, equipment, or electronic devices used as aids in the game of bingo for the playing of bingo not for resale to nursing homes and other entities that distribute the cards, sheets, or electronic devices and allow playing of the game free of charge, without consideration given or received by any person for the privilege of playing; and (b) A bingo-raffle licensee may sell or donate its used equipment to another bingo-raffle licensee. (4) Every manufacturer and supplier licensee shall file, upon forms prescribed by the licensing authority, quarterly reports on its licensed activities within Colorado. The reports must be accompanied by quarterly fees established by the licensing authority in accordance with section 24-21-606 (2) and deposited in the department of state cash fund created in section 24- 21-104 (3)(b). The reports shall be filed with the licensing authority no later than April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31 of each year licensed, and each report must cover the preceding calendar quarter. Reports must enumerate by quantity, purchaser or lessee, and price the pull tabs, bingo cards or sheets, electronic devices used as aids in the game of bingo, and other games of chance equipment manufactured, conveyed, or distributed within Colorado or for use or distribution in Colorado and must include the licensee's total sales, including amounts realized from leases, of equipment and electronic devices used as aids in the game of bingo and the names and addresses of all Colorado suppliers or agents of the licensee and shall be signed and verified by the owner or the chief executive officer of the licensee. These quarterly reports are not public records as defined in section 24-72-202. (5) Every manufacturer or supplier licensee, and every licensed agent for such licensee, shall keep and maintain complete and accurate records, in accord with generally accepted accounting principles, of all licensed activities. The records shall include invoices for all games of chance equipment or electronic devices used as aids in the game of bingo conveyed or distributed within Colorado, or for use or distribution in Colorado, which invoices are specific as to the nature, description, quantity, and serial numbers of the pull tabs, bingo cards or sheets, electronic devices used as aids in the game of bingo, and other equipment so conveyed or distributed. The records shall also show all receipts and expenditures made in connection with licensed activities, including, but not limited to, records of sales by dates, purchasers, and items sold or leased, monthly bank account reconciliations, disbursement records, and credit memos for any returned items. These records shall be maintained for a period of at least three years. (6) A manufacturer or supplier licensee or licensed agent must not be a person responsible for or assisting in the conduct, management, or operation of any game of chance within Colorado.
