Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law (PML)

1. No licensee or a holding or intermediary company of a licensee may employ any person as a casino key employee unless the person is the holder of a valid casino key employee license issued by the commission.
2. Each applicant for a casino key employee license must, prior to the issuance of any casino key employee license, produce information, documentation and assurances concerning the following qualification criteria:
(a) Each applicant for a casino key employee license shall produce such information, documentation and assurances as may be lawfully required to establish by clear and convincing evidence the financial stability, integrity and responsibility of the applicant, including but not limited to bank references, business and personal income and disbursements schedules, tax returns and other reports filed with governmental agencies, and business and personal accounting and check records and ledgers. In addition, each applicant shall, in writing, authorize the examination of all bank accounts and records as may be deemed necessary by the commission.
(b) Each applicant for a casino key employee license shall produce such information, documentation and assurances as may be required to establish by clear and convincing evidence the applicant's good character, honesty and integrity. Such information shall include data pertaining to family, habits, character, reputation, criminal history information, business activities, financial affairs, and business, professional and personal associates, covering at least the ten year period immediately preceding the filing of the application. Each applicant shall notify the commission of any civil judgments obtained against such applicant pertaining to antitrust or security regulation laws of the federal government, of this state or of any other state, jurisdiction, province or country. In addition, each applicant shall, upon request of the commission, produce letters of reference from law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction in the applicant's place of residence and principal place of business, which letters of reference shall indicate that such law enforcement agencies do not have any pertinent non-sealed information concerning the applicant, or if such law enforcement agency does have such information pertaining to the applicant, shall specify what that information is. If the applicant has been associated with gaming operations in any capacity, position or employment in a jurisdiction which permits such activity, the applicant shall, upon request of the commission, produce letters of reference from the gaming enforcement or control agency, which shall specify the experience of such agency with the applicant, his or her associates and his or her participation in the gaming operations of that jurisdiction; provided, however, that if no such letters are received from the appropriate law enforcement agencies within sixty days of the applicant's request therefor, the applicant may submit a statement under oath that he or she is or was during the period such activities were conducted in good standing with such gaming enforcement or control agency.
(c) Each applicant employed by a gaming facility licensee shall be a resident of the state prior to the issuance of a casino key employee license; provided, however, that upon petition by the holder of a license, the commission may waive this residency requirement for any applicant whose particular position will require him to be employed outside the state; and provided further that no applicant employed by a holding or intermediary company of a licensee shall be required to establish residency in this state.
(d) For the purposes of this section, each applicant shall submit to the commission the applicant's name, address, fingerprints and written consent for a criminal history information as defined in paragraph (c) of subdivision one of section eight hundred forty-five-b of the executive law, to be performed. The commission is hereby authorized to exchange fingerprint data with and receive criminal history record information from the state division of criminal justice services and the federal bureau of investigation consistent with applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations. The applicant shall pay the fee for such criminal history information as established pursuant to article thirty-five of the executive law. The state division of criminal justice services shall promptly notify the commission in the event a current or prospective licensee, who was the subject of such criminal history information pursuant to this section, is arrested for a crime or offense in this state after the date the check was performed.
3. The commission shall deny a casino key employee license to any applicant who is disqualified on the basis of the criteria contained in section one thousand three hundred eighteen of this title, subject to notice and hearing.
4. Upon receipt of such criminal history information, the commission shall provide such applicant with a copy of such criminal history information, together with a copy of article twenty-three-A of the correction law, and inform such applicant of his or her right to seek correction of any incorrect information contained in such criminal history information pursuant to regulations and procedures established by the division of criminal justice services. Except as otherwise provided by law, such criminal history information shall be confidential and any person who willfully permits the release of such confidential criminal history information to persons not permitted to receive such information shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
5. Upon petition by the holder of a license, the commission may issue a temporary license to an applicant for a casino key employee license, provided that:
(a) The applicant for the casino key employee license has filed a completed application as required by the commission;
(b) The petition for a temporary casino key employee license certifies, and the commission finds, that an existing casino key employee position of the petitioner is vacant or will become vacant within sixty days of the date of the petition and that the issuance of a temporary key employee license is necessary to fill the said vacancy on an emergency basis to continue the efficient operation of the casino, and that such circumstances are extraordinary and not designed to circumvent the normal licensing procedures of this article;
6. Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to this article, any temporary casino key employee license issued pursuant to this section shall expire nine months from the date of its issuance.
