Section 232.03 - Discipline of Others Involved in Sports Wagering(1)Grounds for Disciplinary Action. In addition to the grounds specifically provided throughout G.L. c. 23K and 23N or 205 CMR, and without limiting the Commission's, the Bureau's or any other entity's ability to require compliance with M.G.L. c. 23N or 205 CMR through any other method, any Occupational License or Sports Wagering Vendor license or registration issued under 205 CMR may be conditioned, suspended, or revoked, or a civil administrative penalty assessed, if the Commission or the Bureau determines that the licensee or registrant has:(a) been arrested or convicted of a crime and failed to report the charges or the conviction to the Commission;(b) failed to comply with any provision of M.G.L. c. 23N or 205 CMR pertaining to licensees and registrants, including failure to act in conformance with an applicable provision of the Sports Wagering Operator's system of Internal Controls.(2)Bureau Finding and Decision. If the Bureau finds that an Occupational Licensee or Sports Wagering Vendor licensee or registrant has violated a provision of 205 CMR 232.03(1), it may issue a written notice of its intent to reprimand, suspend, or revoke said license or registration, or to assess a civil administrative penalty on a license or registrant. Such notice shall be provided in writing to the licensee or registrant and the Commission and contain the information required by 205 CMR 232.02(2). It shall further advise the licensee or registrant of their right to a hearing and their responsibility to request a hearing in accordance with 205 CMR 232.03(3), if they so choose, and that failure to do so may result in the discipline automatically being imposed. Mailing of the notice to the address on record with the Commission, or emailing the notice to the address provided to the commission by the licensee/registrant shall be deemed satisfactory service of the notice.(3)Review of Bureau Decision. Any person aggrieved by a decision made by the Bureau pursuant to 205 CMR 232.03(2) may request review of said decision within 30 days of receiving the Bureau's decision. Such review shall proceed in accordance with the procedures in 205 CMR 101.00: M.G.L. c. 23K Adjudicatory Proceedings. Failure to request such review may result in the decision automatically being imposed. During such review the Commission may adopt or reject the discipline imposed by the Bureau or order such other discipline as it may find appropriate. In addition, the Commission may, upon receiving the notice required pursuant to 205 CMR 232.03(2), and within the same time period for appeal, issue written notice to the Bureau and the licensee or registrant that it will review the Bureau's decision in accordance with the provisions of 205 CMR 232.02(3) through (5) applicable to discipline of Sports Wagering Operators.(4)Assessment of Penalties. After written notice of noncompliance or intent to assess a civil administrative penalty has been given by the Bureau, each day thereafter during which noncompliance occurs or continues shall constitute a separate offense and shall be subject to a separate civil administrative penalty if reasonable efforts have not been made by the licensee or registrant to promptly come into compliance.Adopted by Mass Register Issue 1489, eff. 1/25/2023 (EMERGENCY).Amended by Mass Register Issue 1493, eff. 1/25/2023 (COMPLIANCE).
