2.__License denial.__The state gaming agency may deny a gaming employee license to an applicant who:

A.__Has been determined to be a person whose prior activities, criminal record, if any, or reputation, habits and associations pose a threat to the effective regulation of gaming or create or increase the danger of unfair or illegal practices, methods and activities in the conduct of the gaming activities permitted under this subchapter; provided that the State may not apply standards for approval of licenses pursuant to this section more rigorously than those actually applied in the approval of employee licenses in gaming enterprises operated or regulated exclusively by the State; or

B.__Has failed to provide any information reasonably required to investigate the application for a gaming employee license or to reveal any fact material to such application or has furnished any information that is untrue or misleading in connection with such application.

3.__Revocation or suspension of license.__The state gaming agency or the state law enforcement agency may investigate any person who holds a gaming employee license at any time and the state gaming agency may suspend or revoke any gaming employee license issued pursuant to this subchapter if new information concerning facts arising either prior to or since the issuance of the original license or any license renewal comes to the attention of the state gaming agency, which information would justify denial of such original license or any license renewal pursuant to subsection 2.__A license may not be revoked or suspended except after notice and hearing as generally required for similar administrative actions under the Maine Administrative Procedure Act.

4.__Appeal of license decisions.__A decision of the state gaming agency to deny, suspend or revoke a license pursuant to this section, following any administrative review or appeal that may be permitted by the state gaming agency in accordance with procedures that it may establish, constitutes final agency action subject to judicial review in the manner provided by the laws of the State for judicial review of administrative actions affecting similar rights.
