N.Y. Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law § 1324: Gaming employee registration

§ 1324. Gaming employee registration. 1. No person may commence

employment as a gaming employee unless such person has a valid

registration on file with the commission, which registration shall be

prepared and filed in accordance with the regulations promulgated

hereunder.

2. A gaming employee registrant shall produce such information as the

commission by regulation may require. Subsequent to the registration of

a gaming employee, the executive director may revoke, suspend, limit, or

otherwise restrict the registration upon a finding that the registrant

is disqualified on the basis of the criteria contained in section one

thousand three hundred eighteen of this title. If a gaming employee

registrant has not been employed in any position within a gaming

facility for a period of three years, the registration of that gaming

employee shall lapse.

3. No gaming employee registration shall be denied or revoked on the

basis of a misdemeanor conviction of any of the offenses enumerated in

this article as disqualification criteria or the commission of any act

or acts which would constitute any offense under section one thousand

three hundred eighteen of this title, provided that the registrant has

affirmatively demonstrated the registrant's rehabilitation, pursuant to

article twenty-three-A of the correction law.

4. For the purposes of this section, each registrant shall submit to

the commission the registrant's name, address, fingerprints and written

consent for a criminal history information to be performed. The

commission is hereby authorized to exchange fingerprint data with and

receive criminal history information as defined in paragraph (c) of

subdivision one of section eight hundred forty-five-b of the executive

law from the state division of criminal justice services and the federal

bureau of investigation consistent with applicable state and federal

laws, rules and regulations. The registrant shall pay the fee for such

criminal history information as established pursuant to article

thirty-five of the executive law. The state division of criminal justice

services shall promptly notify the commission in the event a current or

prospective licensee, who was the subject of a criminal history

information pursuant to this section, is arrested for a crime or offense

in this state after the date the check was performed.

5. Upon receipt of such criminal history information, the Commission

shall provide such applicant with a copy of such criminal history

information, together with a copy of article twenty-three-A of the

correction law, and inform such applicant of his or her right to seek

correction of any incorrect information contained in such criminal

history information pursuant to regulations and procedures established

by the division of criminal justice services. Except as otherwise

provided by law, such criminal history information shall be confidential

and any person who willfully permits the release of such confidential

criminal history information to persons not permitted to receive such

information shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
