(c) The Commission may, by regulation, require that all applicants for casino employee licenses be residents of the Virgin Islands for a period not to exceed six months immediately prior to the issuance of such license, but application may be made prior to the expiration of the required period of residency. The Commission shall, by resolution, waive the required residency period for an applicant only upon a showing of good cause. (d) The Commission shall deny a casino employee license to any applicant who is disqualified on the basis of the criteria contained in section 438 of this title. (e) For the purpose of this section, casino security employees shall be considered casino employees and must, in addition to any requirements under other laws, be licensed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to this chapter, a temporary license issued pursuant to this subsection shall expire six (6) months from the date of its issuance and be renewable, at the discretion of the commission, for one additional six (6) month period.
