Current through July 10, 2024
(a)
Formal
			 ejection
. Through its director of security or duly authorized
			 representative(s), an association or OTB facility operator shall eject from its
			 grounds all unauthorized persons, known undesirables, touts, persons believed
			 to be bookmakers or connected with bookmakers, persons whose licenses are
			 revoked or under suspension, ejected persons or persons whose conduct may be
			 detrimental to jai alai, greyhound racing, OTB or the public welfare. Likewise,
			 the division on its own initiative may eject such aforesaid persons.
(b)
Division notification
. It
			 shall be the duty of each association or OTB facility operator through its
			 director of security, to notify the division of all formal ejections and
			 arrests, giving the name and address of the ejectee and the specific nature of
			 the offense.
(c)
Formal
			 ejectee notification
. Every person formally ejected by the association
			 or the division shall be notified in writing of the ejection and the specific
			 reasons therefore. All ejection notices shall contain appropriate language
			 informing the person ejected of their right to a hearing and the procedures
			 involved. If ejected by an association or OTB facility operator, a copy of the
			 ejection notice issued by the association shall be immediately filed with the
			 division.
(d)
Ejection
			 hearing
. Any person formally ejected by either the association, OTB
			 facility operator or the division shall have the right to a hearing by the
			 division concerning the propriety of such ejection upon written request to the
			 division within seven (7) days of the ejection. Such hearing shall be held
			 pursuant to division rules of practice and hearing procedures. The division, or
			 the board of administrative judges, as the case may be, in either ejection
			 hearings held pursuant to this subsection, or reinstatement hearings held
			 pursuant to subsection (e) of this section, may issue orders as part of its
			 decision as to limitations concerning any additional reinstatement hearings to
			 be afforded said ejected persons. Any ejected person may petition for an
			 additional patron reinstatement hearing pursuant to subsection (e) of this
			 section upon showing that new or additional evidence exists concerning the
			 facts of said persons' original ejection or upon a showing of a significant
			 change in circumstances from those which appertained at the original ejection
			 or reinstatement hearing.
(e)
Ejectee reinstatement
.
(1) Any
			 person formally ejected by the association, OTB facility operator or the
			 division shall have the right to a hearing to show reasons why he should be
			 readmitted to the association facility and such ejection should be terminated.
			 Such hearing shall be held by the board of administrative judges or the
			 division pursuant to division rules of practice and hearing
			 procedures.
(2) The board of
			 administrative judges has the authority to conduct a reinstatement hearing
			 either on its own motion or upon the written petition of the party ejected. As
			 soon as practicable the board of administrative judges shall schedule a hearing
			 and notify the ejectee of the place, date, and time thereof and the procedures
			 involved.
(3) The board of
			 administrative judges may order the appearance of any licensee at this hearing
			 who in its opinion may be necessary for the efficient administration of
			 justice. After the hearing the board of administrative judges may either uphold
			 the ejection, modify it in any manner or order the ejectee's reinstatement. In
			 any case written notice of the board of administrative judges' findings and
			 decision thereon shall be promptly delivered to the ejected person and the
			 association.
(4) An association or
			 OTB facility operator may on its own reinstate a person, and will immediately
			 file a copy of its reinstatement notice with the division. The division
			 reserves the right within five (5) business days of receipt of notice to
			 approve or disapprove said reinstatement and no association reinstatement will
			 be effective until the end of this period. Any person whose association
			 reinstatement has been disapproved shall be so notified in writing by the
			 division. This notice shall inform said person of his right to a hearing before
			 the board of administrative judges or the division concerning the circumstances
			 of the ejection and the division's determination to disapprove
			 reinstatement.
