sec.37 Requirement to give information or material for investigation
In investigating a keno licensee, or business or executive associate of a keno licensee, the chief executive may, by written notice given to the person, require the person to give the chief executive information or material the chief executive considers is relevant to the investigation. When making the requirement, the chief executive must warn the person it is an offence to fail to comply with the requirement, unless the person has a reasonable excuse. The person must comply with the requirement, unless the person has a reasonable excuse. Maximum penalty—200 penalty units or 2 years imprisonment. It is a reasonable excuse for the person not to comply with the requirement if complying with the requirement might tend to incriminate the person. The person does not commit an offence against this section if the information or material sought by the chief executive is not in fact relevant to the investigation.
