68 IAC 21-13-1 Disciplinary action

Sec. 1. (a) Qualified organizations, manufacturers, and distributors have a continuing duty to maintain compliance with IC 4-32.3 and this article. A commission license does not create a property right, but is a privilege contingent upon continuing compliance and suitability for licensure. (b) In addition to the grounds for penalties listed in IC 4-32.3-8-1, the commission may initiate an investigation or a disciplinary action, or both, against a qualified organization, a manufacturer, a distributor, or an individual, if the commission has reason to believe the qualified organization, manufacturer, distributor, or individual: (1) has violated a statute, regulation, local ordinance, or other law providing for the best interests of charity gaming; or (2) owes license fees. (c) The commission shall pursue a disciplinary action against a qualified organization, a manufacturer, a distributor, or an individual in accordance with the procedures in 68 IAC 13, except any provision therein that is inapplicable to charity gaming. (d) For purposes of the initiation of an investigation or a disciplinary action under this article, the commission may consider the relevant activities of an organization prior to any reorganization conducted under IC 4-32.3-2-31(a)(1)(B)(iii). (e) If the commission revokes a license of a qualified organization, manufacturer, or distributor, then the commission shall publish notice of the revocation in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the qualified organization is located and in the county where the allowable activity was conducted.
