11 CSR 45-13.065 - Settlements

PURPOSE: This amendment adds fantasy sports contests operators to the types of licensees who would be covered by this rule.

(1) The parties may initiate settlement negotiations at any stage of the proceedings, including prior to the initiation of the proceedings before the Administrative Hearing Commission in the case of a bingo or fantasy sports contest hearing, or prior to the entry of a final order of the commission.

(2) If the parties initiate settlement negotiations in a bingo or fantasy sports contest hearing, then the provisions of section 621.045, RSMo shall be followed. All other settlements not involving a bingo or fantasy sports contest licensee shall be governed by Chapter 313, RSMo, and the rules in this chapter.

(2) (3) All settlement agreements shall be in writing, signed by the parties, and accurately reflect all the terms of the settlement, including the facts agreed to by the parties constituting the grounds for the action proposed in the settlement agreement.

(3) (4) Once signed by the parties, the settlement agreement shall be presented to the commission for its approval or disapproval. If the commission approves the settlement offer it will become a final commission order. If the commission disapproves the settlement offer the parties shall be notified and the settlement agreement and any documents solely relating to the offer shall not constitute part of the record.
