CMP.1.5.120 Suspension and Revocation of Licenses

(a) A violation of any applicable ordinance, law or code of the Tribe or rules promulgated thereunder shall constitute grounds for suspension or revocation of a gaming license.

(b) Procedures for suspending or revoking a gaming license shall be as follows:

(1) Proceeding to suspend a license to conduct games shall be initiated by the Tribal Gaming Commission of the Board. The notice shall state the alleged violations which constitute the grounds for the proceedings. The Tribal Gaming Commission for the Board may temporarily suspend such license for a period of 40 days while any such proceedings are pending and shall notify the licensee of the date of the temporary suspension.

(2) The Tribal Gaming Commission shall hold a hearing on a proposed suspension or proposed revocation as soon as practicable should such be requested by the licensee. The Tribal Gaming Commission shall issue, in writing, its findings and decision on suspension or revocation within 20 days aner the hearing. A copy of the findings and decision shall be sent immediately to the licensee. If the Tribal Gaming Commission suspends or revokes the license, the licensee shall be informed of the effective date of such suspension or revocation. Within twenty (20) days of the Tribal Gaming Commission's written decision, an appeal may be filed with the Tribal Governing Board and such decision shall be final.

(3) When a license suspension or revocation is upheld by the Tribal Governing Board, the licensee shall immediately surrender the license to the Board. A licensee whose license has been revoked may reapply for a license one (l) year after the effective date of the revocation. If a license has been suspended, the Tribal Gaming Commission shall reinstate the licensee at the end of the period of suspension.
