  1. Distribution; manufacturers. For business conducted in this  state,
manufacturers  licensed by the board to sell bell jar tickets shall sell
only such tickets to distributors licensed by the board, AND SHALL  ONLY
SELL SUCH TICKETS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD AND ARE IMPRINTED
WITH  AN  APPROVED LEGEND PRESCRIBED BY THE BOARD IN A MANNER PRESCRIBED
BY  THE  BOARD.  BELL  JAR  TICKETS   THAT   ARE   BANDED   SINGLE-SIDED
SINGLE-TABBED, DOUBLE-SIDED SINGLE-TABBED OR FOLDED BELL JAR TICKETS ARE
EXCLUDED FROM THE APPROVED LEGEND REQUIREMENT. Manufacturers of bell jar
tickets,  seal  cards,  merchandise  boards,  and coin boards may submit
samples, artists' renderings, or color photocopies of proposed bell  jar
tickets,  seal cards, merchandise boards, coin boards, payout cards, and
flares for review and approval by  the  board.  Within  thirty  days  of
receipt  of  such  sample  or rendering, the board shall approve or deny
such bell jar tickets. Following approval of a rendering of a  bell  jar
ticket,  seal  card,  merchandise board, or coin board by the board, the
manufacturer shall submit to the board a sample of the printed bell  jar
ticket, seal card, merchandise board, coin board, payout card, and flare
for  such  game. Such sample shall be submitted prior to the sale of the
game to any licensed distributor for resale  in  this  state.  For  coin
boards  and merchandise boards, nothing herein shall require the submit-
tal of actual coins or merchandise as part of the approval process.  Any
licensed   manufacturer   who  [willfully]  INTENTIONALLY  violates  the
provisions of this section shall: (a)  upon  such  first  offense,  have
their  license  suspended  for  a  period  of thirty days; (b) upon such
second offense, participate in a hearing to be conducted by  the  board,
