A. The Board shall establish and publish procedures and standards for issuing, renewing, transferring, fining, suspending and revoking licenses to engage in alcoholic beverage sales on tribal lands; provided, that no tribal license shall issue except upon showing of satisfactory proof that the applicant is duly licensed by the state, and, if applicable, the United States Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau or any successor agency.

B. The fact that an applicant for a tribal license possesses a license issued by the state or the United States shall not alone entitle the applicant to a tribal license.

C. A Gaming Board licensing determination in favor of a liquor license applicant shall create a rebuttable presumption in favor of the issuance of a liquor license.

D. The Board may, in its discretion, set standards that are more, but in no case less, stringent than those of the state. (Res. 2018-69)
