section
relative

devices
unless
the
distributor
28
or
an
employee
of
the
distributor
intentionally
violates
the
29
Code
section.
30
This
bill
also
concerns
the
penalties
applicable
to
a
31
person
who
awards
a
cash
prize
for
the
use
of
an
electrical
32
or
mechanical
amusement
device
in
violation
of
Code
section
33
99B.10(1)(b).
