order and welfare of Tribal Members and other persons on the Reservation and to

preserve the honesty, fairness and integrity of such Gaming Activities.

Accordingly, no person shall engage in any Class II or Class III Gaming Activities

III license issued by the Gaming Commission. Any gaming license which is

issued, or finding of suitability or approval by the Gaming Commission, shall be

Tribe is a party, or of any applicable law.

§22 100. Applicant Claim of Privilege An applicant may claim any privilege

C) shall be issued to persons associated with Gaming Activities. The Gaming

any person or entity associated with other tribal businesses that are not part of the

gaming facility or operated in conjunction therewith.

1. Class A Licenses: Before permitting any person to become

permanently associated with the Gaming Activities as an investor or other person

owning or controlling 10% or more of any interest in any management entity, or

any Primary Management Official, Key Employee, closely Associated

Independent Contractor, or other individual or entity with influence over the

management or operation of the gaming, or a Class II or III gaming employee,

supplier, manufacturer or distributor, such person shall obtain a Class A license.

The Gaming Commission shall conduct or cause to be conducted a background

investigation to determine if such person has:

a. Any criminal record or any reputation, prior activities,

habits or associations which might pose a threat to the public interest or to

the effective regulation of gaming

b. Anything else in their background which might create or

enhance the dangers of unsuitable, unfair, or illegal practices and methods

and activities in the conduct of gaming.

Persons who do not meet the above qualifications shall be denied a Class A license.

2. Class B Licenses: Persons who are not among those identified in

subsection (1) above, but are to be employed at a gaming facility on the

Reservation in some other capacity, such as in non- gaming related activities, shall

be required to obtain a Class B license from the Gaming Commission. Such

persons must establish that they have not been convicted of a crime, or engaged in

any activity, which the Gaming Commission in its sole discretion deems would

20 of 32

render such person a danger to the safety or integrity of the Gaming Activities or

the safety or property of the Tribe, any tribal member, any gaming employee or

patron, or the public.

3. Class C License: Minors (persons under 18 years of age)

employed at a gaming facility on the Reservation may be issued a Class C license,

which will entitle them to work in any position for which a Class B license is

required for adults and not otherwise prohibited by law, provided such minors are

not deemed by the Gaming Commission to pose any threat to the safety or

integrity of the Gaming Activities or the safety or property of the Tribe, any

Tribal Member, any gaming employee or patron, or the public. The Class C

license shall be valid for no more than six (6) months before renewal, and shall be

revoked upon the minors reaching the age of 18, at which time a Class A or B

license, as may be appropriate, will be required. Minors shall not be employed as

dealers or otherwise to operate or supervise the operations of games, or to serve

liquor.

§22250. Temporary Licenses Pending completion of an investigation for a license,

temporary licenses of no more than ninety (90) days duration may be issued by the

and conditions as may be specified by the Gaming Commission. Such temporary licenses

shall expire ninety (90) days from date of issuance, upon issuance of a regular license, or

until an earlier specified expiration date, whichever occurs first.

license applicants shall be required to pay all applicable license fees and cost when due,
