VIDEO GAMING (GENERAL) > DENIALS OF APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSURE
Short Summary
This legal document governs the denials of applications for licensure in the video gaming industry. It outlines the rights of parties involved in the denial process, including the entitlement to the name and address of any witness expected to testify on behalf of the opposing party, as well as access to all necessary documents or materials in the possession or control of the opposing party. The petitioner is responsible for producing documents they expect to introduce as evidence. Rebuttal documents must be tendered to the Board within 14 days after receiving documents from the Board, unless additional time is granted. Discovery can only be obtained through written requests for witness lists, documents, or other materials. Failure to produce requested witnesses or documents may result in their exclusion from the hearing and the imposition of additional sanctions or penalties. The Administrative Law Judge may impose sanctions and penalties if a party has acted in bad faith, for the purpose of delay, or has otherwise abused the hearing process. Sanctions and penalties include but are not limited to default judgment or directed finding on one or more issues. If a petitioner fails to testify on his own behalf with respect to any question propounded to him, the Administrative Law Judge may infer that such testimony or answer would have been adverse to the petitioner’s case. Failure of a petitioner to appear at a hearing or scheduled proceeding shall constitute an admission of all matters and facts contained in the notice of denial. In such cases, the Administrative Law Judge may take action based upon that admission or upon any other evidence, including affidavits, without any further notice to the petitioner. The document also governs the appointment of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) by the Chairman of the Illinois Gaming Board. The Chairman has the authority to appoint a Board member or an attorney admitted to the practice of law in Illinois as an ALJ to conduct hearings in accordance with the specified Subpart. The Administrator may also appoint an ALJ if designated. The petitioner will be notified of the appointment, which serves as notice of the pending hearing. The ALJ is responsible for establishing a status date and notifying the parties involved. If the petitioner believes the ALJ is biased or has a conflict of interest, they can file a motion to disqualify the ALJ, accompanied by specific grounds for disqualification. The Board may remove the ALJ and reassign the case to another ALJ upon satisfactory evidence of bias or conflict of interest. Grounds for disqualification include financial interest in the gaming industry, personal friendship with involved parties, past representation of parties or witnesses, or demonstrable pre-disposition on the issues. If the motion to disqualify is denied, the reasons for denial will be provided in writing. The motion and the reasons for denial will be part of the administrative record in the appeal of a final administrative decision. No specific penalties or exemptions are mentioned in this document.
