(a) Employment opportunities.--It is the goal of the General Assembly that the board promote and ensure the availability of employment opportunities for Commonwealth residents in table games and table game-related operations as authorized in this chapter. The board shall work with each certificate holder to ensure that a significant number of Commonwealth residents are employed by a certificate holder relating to table games. It is also the goal of the General Assembly that Commonwealth residents comprise at least 85% of each certificate holder's table game-related employees by the end of the third year following commencement of the conduct of table games at each certificate holder's licensed facility.

(b) Review.--The board shall conduct an annual review to ascertain each certificate holder's progress in achieving the goals of this section and whether each certificate holder has taken effective and meaningful action to employ Commonwealth residents in table game-related positions at licensed facilities. The first review shall be completed one year following the award of the first table game operation certificate. Each annual review shall contain recommendations which the board determines appropriate and may be combined with any other review or study required by the board under this part. The review shall be submitted to the chairman and minority chairman of the standing committees of the Senate and of the House of Representatives with jurisdiction over this part.
