68 IAC 2-2-6.1 Occupational licensing

Sec. 6.1. (a) All key persons and substantial owners of supplier licensees and supplier license applicants must obtain a Level 1 occupational license. (b) An employee, independent contractor, agent, or subagent of a supplier licensee shall obtain a Level 2 occupational license under 68 IAC 2-3 if the executive director or the executive director's designee determines it is necessary. In making that determination, the executive director or the executive director's designee shall consider the: (1) frequency and duration of the individual's work in a casino or access to devices or systems that relate to the conduct or integrity of gaming; and (2) tasks that the individual will perform as part of the individual's job duties in a casino or while accessing devices or systems that relate to the conduct or integrity of gaming. (c) If a supplier licensee experiences an unexpected vacancy in a position that requires a Level 1 license, the executive director may grant emergency relief by permitting the supplier licensee to fill the vacancy, for up to thirty (30) days, with an individual who has not submitted a license application. For the executive director to grant emergency relief, the following must occur: (1) The supplier licensee must submit a written request that includes, at a minimum: (A) the name of the replacement; (B) the professional qualifications of the replacement; (C) the gaming licensure history of the replacement, including a detailed description of any disciplinary actions or investigations in another jurisdiction; and (D) a detailed explanation of why the replacement must begin his or her job duties prior to submitting an application. (2) The executive director shall determine whether: (A) continued vacancy of the position is likely to have a significant detrimental effect on the: (i) profitability of; (ii) integrity of; or (iii) tax revenues gained from; gaming; and (B) based on the information available at the time, the replacement is likely to be deemed suitable for licensure following submission of an application and a full investigation. (d) Except as outlined in this section, occupational licensing of an employee, independent contractor, agent, or subagent of a supplier licensee shall be governed by 68 IAC 2-3.
