If it is the judgment of the commission that the public interest will be served by requiring a key employee to be licensed, the commission shall serve notice of the determination upon the licensee who employs the key employee. The commission is not restricted by the title of the job performed by the key employee but may consider the functions and responsibility of the key employee in making its decision. Grounds for requiring licensing of a key employee include:
(1)Whether the key employee is new to the gaming industry, to the particular gaming establishment, the position, or the level of influence or responsibility which he has, and whether the commission has insufficient or outdated information concerning his character, background, reputation, or association; or
(2)Whether information has been received by the commission or the executive secretary which, if true, would constitute grounds for a finding of unsuitability.
The licensee shall, within thirty days following receipt of the notice of the commission's determination, present the application for licensing of the key employee to the commission or provide documentary evidence that the key employee is no longer employed by the licensee. Failure of the licensee to respond as required by this section is grounds for disciplinary action.
A person subject to application for licensing as a key employee as required by this section may request the commission, in writing, to review its determination of that individual's status within the gaming organization. If the commission determines that the person is not a key employee or that the public interest does not require his licensing as a key employee, he shall be allowed to withdraw his application and continue in his employment. The request of the key employee applicant for review of his status does not stay the obligation of the licensee to present the key employee's application within the thirty - day period prescribed by this section.
The provisions of chapter 1-26 do not apply to this section.
