Qualification of New Qualifiers for Gaming Licensees

(1) No person requiring qualification pursuant to 205 CMR 116.02(1) may perform any duties or exercise any powers relating to the position that said qualifier is seeking to assume unless the individual notifies the Bureau in writing within 30 days of appointment to the position. Such notification shall be accompanied by a completed Multi Jurisdictional Personal History Disclosure Form and Massachusetts Supplement Form. Following such notification and submission of the completed Forms, the person may continue to perform duties and exercise powers relating to the position pending qualification. (2) A person with reason to believe that his or her new position may require qualification pursuant to 205 CMR 116.02(1) shall notify the Bureau in writing within 30 days of appointment to the position. Such notification shall be accompanied by a summary of the responsibilities and/or features of the position. The Bureau shall determine whether the person shall be designated a qualifier pursuant to 205 CMR 116.02(1) and shall notify the person of such designation in writing. Within 30 days of designation as a qualifier, the person shall submit a completed Multi Jurisdictional Personal History Disclosure Form and Massachusetts Supplement Form. Following submission of the completed Forms, the person may continue to perform duties and exercise powers relating to the position pending qualification. (3) The Bureau shall review the Forms submitted by the new qualifier, as well as such other information that the Bureau may request, and, upon completion of its investigation, shall make a recommendation to the Commission in accordance with 205 CMR 116.01 whether the new qualifier meets the standards for suitability under 205 CMR 115.00: Phase 1 and New Qualifier Suitability Determination, Standards, and Procedures. (4) Upon notification by the Bureau that reasonable cause exists to believe the qualifier may not ultimately be found suitable, a gaming licensee shall promptly remove the qualifier from his or her position until such time as the commission makes its determination on suitability.
