Section 13:69J-1.2B - Permission to conduct business prior to issuance of a casino service industry enterprise license

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this chapter:

1. The Division may, upon the initial joint petition of a casino licensee or applicant and an applicant for a casino service industry enterprise license filed pursuant to N.J.S.A. 5:12-92.a(1) or (2), permit an applicant for a casino service industry enterprise license to transact business with such casino licensee or applicant prior to the licensure of the casino service industry enterprise license applicant if:

i. A completed application for the appropriate casino service industry enterprise license has been filed by the applicant;

ii. The applicant for a casino service industry enterprise license files a certification from a designee of the applicant for casino service industry enterprise licensure stating that neither the casino service industry enterprise license applicant, nor any of its qualifiers, are disqualified under any of the criteria set forth in N.J.S.A. 5:12-86;

iii. The petitioner shows good cause for granting the petition; and

iv. The applicant for a casino service industry enterprise license agrees, within 30 business days of transacting business, to supply to the Division, in writing, a detailed explanation of any business transacted with a casino licensee or applicant. Any applicant for a casino service industry enterprise license and any casino licensee or applicant involved in a transaction, shall maintain and make available for inspection, upon demand by the Division, any records regarding the business transacted.

2. The Division may, upon the petition of an applicant for a casino service industry enterprise license that intends to engage in the manufacture, sale, distribution, testing, or repair of slot machines or sports wagering kiosk, permit such applicant to conduct a business transaction with persons other than a casino licensee or applicant, provided that the requirements of (a)1i through iii above are satisfied.

(b) Permission to conduct initial business pursuant to (a) above shall be for a period of up to six months.

(c) The Division may extend such initial relief for additional periods, in the Director's sole discretion, until licensure of the applicant is decided. Upon the expiration of the applicant's first issued waiver to conduct business with any casino licensee or applicant, the applicant shall provide the Division with:

1. A list of all casino licensees, casino applicants, and casino service industry enterprise licensees or applicants it currently has an initial waiver to transact business with and which it seeks to continue doing business with; and

2. Good cause why an extension should be granted.

(d) Pursuant to (c) above, the Division, in its sole discretion, may renew all existing waivers at the same time, without the need for a separate petition to be filed for each contractual relationship.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Division may reconsider the granting of any approval issued pursuant to this section at any time.
