N.M. Admin. Code § 15.1.5.17 - APPLICATION FOR WORK PERMIT
A.
Application for a work permit shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
the act or this rule for other applications. At the board's discretion, the
board may delegate authority to the executive director or another designee to
process and make the initial determination on all work permits. Except as
provided for in Subsection I of Section
15.1.5.17 NMAC, no person shall be
employed as a gaming employee unless the board, the executive director or the
board's designee has first approved the application for such a
permit.
B. The applicant shall
submit his or her fingerprints in duplicate on fingerprint cards and his or her
photograph in duplicate. Fingerprints shall not be accepted unless the
fingerprints were taken under the supervision of, and certified by, a state
police officer, a county sheriff, municipal chief of police, or sworn peace
officer, or, upon board approval, another entity providing the services of a
certified identification technician. The photographs shall be no smaller than
2" x 3" and must be satisfactory to the board. The photographs shall be taken
no earlier than three months before the date the application for work permit
was filed.
C. In addition to
grounds for denial of an application described in the act and this rule, the
board shall deny the application if the applicant has had a work permit revoked
in any jurisdiction or has committed any act that is grounds for revocation of
a work permit under the act or this rule.
D. A work permit issued to a gaming employee
shall have clearly imprinted on the permit a statement that the permit is valid
for gaming purposes. A licensee who employs an employee currently holding a
valid work permit shall ensure that the employee registers his or her
employment with the board in writing within three days of the employee's date
of hire.
E. A work permit issued by
the board is not an endorsement or clearance by the board, but is merely
verification that the individual has furnished his or her fingerprints and
photograph to the board as required by this rule.
F. A licensee shall notify the board in
writing that a work permittee has terminated his or her employment with the
licensee within three business days of the termination.
G. Any otherwise qualified person may obtain
a work permit to work as a gaming employee for a nonprofit gaming operator
licensee and is not required to be a member of the nonprofit organization. A
person holding a work permit may provide services to the nonprofit gaming
operator licensee on a paid or volunteer basis.
H. Upon the receipt of a completed
application, an applicant shall be provided a provisional work permit which
shall expire 60 days after the date of issuance, upon the issuance of a
permanent work permit or upon the written determination by the board to deny
the work permit, whichever occurs first. An applicant whose provisional work
permit expires after 60 days may apply for an extension of the provisional work
permit not to exceed an additional 60 days. The board or its designee may allow
the 60 day extension for good cause shown.
