If, in the determination of the commission, an employee of a licensee for limited gaming is a key employee and as such is subject to licensure, the commission shall serve notice of the determination upon the licensee who employed the key employee. In determining whether or not an employee is a key employee, the commission is not restricted by the title of the job performed by the employee but may consider the functions and responsibilities of the employee in making its decision. The licensee shall, within thirty days following receipt of the notice of the commission's determination, present the application for licensing of the employee to the commission or provide documentary evidence that the employee is no longer employed by the licensee. Failure of the licensee to respond as required by this section is grounds for disciplinary action. A person subject to application for licensing as a key employee may make written request to the commission to review its determination of the person's status within the gaming organization. If the commission determines that the person is not a key employee, the person shall be allowed to withdraw his or her application and continue in his or her employment. The request by an employee for review of his or her employment status does not stay the obligation of the licensee to present the employee's application to the commission within the thirty-day period prescribed by this section.
