A. All regular licenses shall be issued for a specified period not to exceed two (2) years from the date of issue, except that a management contractor providing management services to the gaming operation pursuant to a management contract approved by the NIGC may be licensed for a period of no more than seven (7) years, provided such management contractor continues to apply for renewal of a determination of suitability by the state gaming agency at least every two (2) years in accordance with a tribal-state compact. Renewal applications must be received by the Gaming Commission at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of the license. Upon receiving a renewal application, the Gaming Commission shall inform the applicant of his or her obligation, if any, to apply to the state gaming agency for renewal of his or her determination of suitability. Any licensee applying for renewal may continue to be employed or engaged under the expired license for not more than ninety (90) calendar days following the expiration of the license, unless otherwise notified by the Gaming Commission. Applicants for renewal shall provide updated material as requested by the Gaming Commission on the appropriate renewal forms but, at the discretion of the Gaming Commission, may not be required to resubmit information already available to the Gaming Commission. Additional background investigations may be performed at the discretion of the Gaming Commission. Updated criminal history checks are required.

B. Prior to renewing a license, the Gaming Commission shall forward to the state gaming agency copies of the renewal application and related documents as required under a tribal-state compact. With respect to gaming facilities, the Gaming Commission shall provide verification to the state gaming agency that it has reviewed and, if appropriate, renewed a gaming facility’s license.
