Current through June 25, 2024
(a) The
				granting of emergency permission to participate is a revocable privilege, and
				is not to be construed as a finding on the part of the Commission that the
				proposed transferee is qualified or suitable to hold a state gaming license or
				to be registered or to be approved. Such permission will be without prejudice
				to any action that the Commission may take with respect to any application for
				final approval of the proposed transfer of interest.
(b) Emergency permission to participate may
				be withdrawn summarily at any time in the absolute discretion of the
				Commission, without notice or hearing or other proceedings of any
				kind.
(c) Upon receipt of notice
				that emergency permission to participate has been withdrawn the proposed
				transferee shall be immediately disassociated from any participation whatever
				in the operation of the licensed establishment, licensee or holding company.
				Any money or other thing of value which may have been invested or made use of
				in the operation of the licensed establishment, licensee or holding company
				shall be forthwith returned to the proposed transferee or deposited in escrow
				in compliance with Section 4 of this regulation. Any participation whatever on
				the part of a proposed transferee after notice of withdrawal of emergency
				permission to participate may be deemed to be in violation of law and these
				regulations and, as such, grounds for denial of the application of the proposed
				transferee and also grounds for disciplinary action against the existing
				license, registration or approval. (Adopted: 09/25/1991.)
