Connecticut General Statutes Title 12. Taxation § 12-859a. Live game employee license

(a) A live game employee, other than an individual who holds a key employee license, who will be directly or substantially involved in the operation of live online casino gaming in a manner impacting the integrity of such gaming, shall obtain a live game employee license prior to commencing such employment.

(b) A live game employee shall apply for a live game employee license on a form and in a manner prescribed by the commissioner. Such form shall require the applicant to: (1) Submit to a fingerprint-based state and national criminal history records check conducted in accordance with section 29-17a, which may include a financial history check if requested by the commissioner, to determine the character and fitness of the applicant for the license, (2) provide information related to other business affiliations, and (3) provide, or allow the department to obtain, such other information as the department determines is consistent with the requirements of this section in order to determine the fitness of the applicant to hold a license.

(c) A live game employee license shall be renewed every two years. The initial license application fee for a live game employee licensee shall be two hundred dollars and the biennial renewal fee shall be one hundred dollars. The initial application fee shall be waived for a live game employee who holds an active occupational employee license issued by the department, and a licensed live game employee shall not be required to obtain an occupational employee license. The licensee shall be responsible for the payment of any fees incurred for the criminal background check associated with the biennial renewal of the applicant's license.

(d) The department shall transfer any licensing fee collected pursuant to subsection (c) of this section for a live game employee of the holder of a master wagering license under section 12-852 of the general statutes, as amended by this act, or of an online gaming operator or an online gaming service provider that is affiliated with such a holder of a master wagering license, to the State Sports Wagering and Online Gaming Regulatory Fund established under section 12-869.
