Licensing [19850. - 19879.] >
Short Summary
This section of the California Business and Professions Code governs the renewal of gambling licenses. It states that licenses shall be renewed biennially, subject to the power of the commission to deny, revoke, suspend, condition, or limit any license. The owner licensee or key employee must file an application for renewal with the department at least 120 calendar days prior to the expiration of the current license. The commission is required to act upon any application for renewal before the current license expires. If an applicant has submitted an application for renewal before the original expiration date but the commission is unable to act on it, the commission may extend the current license for up to 180 days. Renewal of an owner’s gambling license is deemed to effectuate the renewal of every other gambling license endorsed thereon, unless the commission determines otherwise. Failure to renew the gambling license may result in penalties, including liability to the state for all license fees and penalties that would have been due upon renewal. The commission may order the immediate closure of the premises and a cessation of all gambling activity if the license is not renewed. If an owner licensee applicant submits an application for renewal after the deadline but before the original expiration date, the commission may assess reasonable delinquency fees. This section was amended in 2021 and is effective from January 1, 2022.
