card bingo system that was used, is being used, or is intended for
subsequent use, in the conduct of bingo, including any individual
shutter card, shutter card station, and related site system. Such
examination and inspection include immediate access to the shutter
card, shutter card station, and unlimited inspection of all parts
of the shutter card bingo system.
(b) Distributors and manufacturers shall provide records
related to approved shutter card bingo systems requested by the Commission,
or any of its employees, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the
request unless a longer response time is allowed by the request.

with the shutter card bingo system that affects the security and/or
integrity of the bingo game or shutter card bingo system, the Commission:
(1) may direct the manufacturer, distributor, or licensed
authorized organization to cease the sale, lease, or use of the shutter
card bingo system, as applicable and/or to remove the shutter card
bingo system from use or play until further notice by the Commission;
and
(2) may require the manufacturer to correct the problem
or recall the shutter card bingo system immediately upon notification
by the Commission to the manufacturer.

shutter card bingo system or any secondary component may take place
only after permission is granted by the Commission. The request to
