The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure described in § 8.5-27, develop and adopt tribal minimum internal control standards (TMICS) applicable to gaming operations. The TMICS shall meet or exceed the minimum internal control standards (MICS) prescribed by the NIGC, provided that the TMICS may differ from the MICS with respect to standards that the Commission determines impose an excessive burden on the gaming operation without fulfilling a valid regulatory purpose. In adopting any standard under the TMICS that differs from a standard under the MICS, the Commission shall in each such instance establish and maintain full, effective and reasonable regulatory controls over the gaming operation. Until such time as the Commission promulgates TMICS through the process prescribed under § 8.5-27, the NIGC MICS in effect as of the effective date of this chapter shall be the applicable TMICS.

sanctions against that licensee. If the Gaming Agency finds that an

Upon a determination by the Executive Director that there are adequate grounds to add a person's name to the exclusion list under the criteria listed in Subsection C above, the Executive Director shall determine whether or not the person's name should be added to the exclusion list; provided, however, that any person who is also included on the responsible gaming database maintained by the Michigan Gaming Control Board shall be prohibited from participating in internet wagering on any internet gaming platform operated by the gaming establishment.

K.

shall be regularly updated and shall be distributed to each gaming
establishment. The list shall be made available to law enforcement

patrons from a gaming establishment for violations of gaming rules,
tribal or local laws, or property policies. Nothing in this section
prohibits management of a gaming establishment from establishing internal
procedures for banning patrons from a gaming establishment, for any
period of time.
