The Gaming Agency, consistent with IGRA, the Compact and this
chapter, shall ensure that the following classes of persons acquire
and maintain valid licenses pursuant to this chapter:
A. Class II and Class III gaming establishments;
C. Primary management officials;
D. Key employees, work permits; and
E. Vendors of goods or services.
The Commission may develop regulations establishing licensing
or background investigation requirements for other groups of persons,
by classifying additional employees of gaming operations as "work
permit employees," by requiring licensing for other categories of
employees of a gaming operation, or requiring licensing of persons
doing business with a gaming operation in addition to vendors of gaming
goods or services.
No person shall conduct Class II gaming or Class III gaming at any location within the Reservation unless such gaming is conducted at a gaming establishment licensed by the Commission as set forth in Article
VI.
No person shall manage a Class II or a Class III gaming operation within the Reservation unless such person possesses a management contractor's license issued by the Commission as set forth in Article
VII.
No person shall be employed as primary management official, key employee or work permit at any gaming operation within the Reservation unless such person is licensed by the Gaming Agency as set forth in Article
VII.
No person shall supply any gaming goods or services to any gaming operation within the Reservation unless such person is licensed by the Gaming Agency as set forth in Article
VIII.
Once filed, an application for any license may not be withdrawn
by an applicant without the express permission of the Executive Director.
An applicant may request permission to withdraw an application by
submitting a written request to the Executive Director. The Executive
Director may grant or deny such a request, in its sole discretion.
All licenses, with the exception of temporary licenses, shall
be for a term of two (2) years and shall expire on the second anniversary
of the effective date of the license.
The Commission shall, by regulation, establish a schedule of
fees for each type of license issued under this chapter or defer the
cost to the gaming operation as an operational expense. The amount
of such fees shall be reasonably related to the recovery of the costs
of administering the licensing responsibilities under this chapter.
