(a) Each applicant shall submit a deposit in
				  accordance with Business and Professions Code sections
				  19826,
				  19867
				  and
				  19984,
				  and Title 4, CCR, Chapters 2.1 (commencing with section
				  12200) and 2.2 (commencing with section
				  12220), in addition to the application
				  fee required under Business and Professions Code section
				  19951(a),
				  before the Bureau initiates any background investigation or review related to a
				  license, a finding of suitability, or an approval. The 1999 Tribal-State Gaming
				  Compact and comparable provisions of the new and amended compacts (collectively
				  referred to as "Compacts") also require applicants for a finding of suitability to
				  submit an application and any deposits required to complete an investigation. During
				  the investigation or review, the Chief may require an applicant to deposit any
				  additional sums as are required to pay all costs and charges of the investigation or
				  review. Additional deposits are due to the Bureau within fifteen (15) days from the
				  date of the request for the required deposit. All costs and charges of the
				  investigation or review must be paid before the Bureau may approve a contract, game,
				  or gaming activity, or submit its report, or make a recommendation to the California
				  Gambling Control Commission. The investigation or review concludes upon the
				  California Gambling Control Commission's approval or denial of the application or
				  the granting of a request to withdraw the application. For contracts, games, or
				  gaming activities, the review concludes upon the Bureau's approval or denial of the
				  application, or upon a request to withdraw the application. At the conclusion of the
				  investigation or review, the Bureau shall provide the applicant with an itemized
				  accounting of the costs incurred and shall cause a refund to be made of any unused
				  portion of the deposit.
