A licensed organization may not conduct lawful gambling at any site unless it has first obtained from the board a premises permit for the site. The board shall prescribe a form for permit applications, and each application for a permit must be submitted on a separate form. The premises permit issued by the board runs concurrently on a perpetual basis with the license of the organization unless the premises permit is suspended or revoked by the board, or voluntarily terminated by the organization. The board may by rule limit the number of premises permits that may be issued to an organization.
