Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) In addition to considering all other
				requirements under the Act and this Part, in deciding whether to approve direct
				or indirect ownership or control of an Owner's license the Board shall consider
				the impact of any economic concentration of the ownership or control. No direct
				or indirect ownership or control shall be approved and no Owner's license shall
				be issued or transferred to or held by any person or entity if the Board
				determines that approval, issuance, transfer or holding will result in undue
				economic concentration in the direct or indirect ownership or control of
				riverboat gambling operations in Illinois.
b) For purposes of this Section, "undue
				economic concentration" means that a person or entity would have actual or
				potential domination of riverboat gambling in Illinois sufficient to:
1) substantially impede or suppress
				competition among holders of Owner's licenses;
2) adversely impact the economic stability of
				the riverboat casino industry in Illinois; or
3) negatively impact the purposes of the Act,
				including tourism, economic development, benefits to local communities, and
				State and local revenues.

				entity, other than a publicly traded corporation, which has an interest in an
				entity with a finding of preliminary suitability or in a holder of an Owner's
				license, may only be transferred with leave of the Board.

				application for transfer of any ownership interest in an entity with a finding
				of preliminary suitability or in a holder of an Owner's license, must complete
				a Business Entity Form or Personal Disclosure Form 1, and any other information
				specifically requested by the Board. The information will form the basis of
				Board investigation to determine suitability of the person or entity seeking
				transfer. All costs associated with Board investigation of the applicant for
				transfer will be born by an entity with a finding of preliminary suitability or
				by the holder of an Owner's license in which the transfer of ownership interest
				is being sought.
2) Board decision
				as to suitability for transfer will be based on the same criteria as for a
				finding of preliminary suitability for licensure under Section
				3000.230(c).
3) If the Board denies the application for
				transfer, it shall issue the applicant a Notice of Denial. An applicant served
				with a Notice of Denial may request a hearing in accord with Section
				3000.405.
				If a hearing is not requested, the Notice of Denial becomes the final order of
				the Board denying the application for transfer.
