Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law Section 1324
Gaming employee registration
1.
No person may commence employment as a gaming employee unless such person has a valid registration on file with the commission, which registration shall be prepared and filed in accordance with the regulations promulgated hereunder.2.
A gaming employee registrant shall produce such information as the commission by regulation may require. Subsequent to the registration of a gaming employee, the executive director may revoke, suspend, limit, or otherwise restrict the registration upon a finding that the registrant is disqualified on the basis of the criteria contained in § 1318 (Disqualifying criteria)section one thousand three hundred eighteen of this title. If a gaming employee registrant has not been employed in any position within a gaming facility for a period of three years, the registration of that gaming employee shall lapse.3.
No gaming employee registration shall be denied or revoked on the basis of a misdemeanor conviction of any of the offenses enumerated in this article as disqualification criteria or the commission of any act or acts which would constitute any offense under § 1318 (Disqualifying criteria)section one thousand three hundred eighteen of this title, provided that the registrant has affirmatively demonstrated the registrant’s rehabilitation, pursuant to article twenty-three-A of the correction law.4.
For the purposes of this section, each registrant shall submit to the commission the registrant’s name, address, fingerprints and written consent for a criminal history information to be performed. The commission is hereby authorized to exchange fingerprint data with and receive criminal history information as defined in paragraph (c) of subdivision one of Executive Law § 845-B (Requests for criminal history information)section eight hundred forty-five-b of the executive law from the state division of criminal justice services and the federal bureau of investigation consistent with applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations. The registrant shall pay the fee for such criminal history information as established pursuant to article thirty-five of the executive law. The state division of criminal justice services shall promptly notify the commission in the event a current or prospective licensee, who was the subject of a criminal history information pursuant to this section, is arrested for a crime or offense in this state after the date the check was performed.5.
Upon receipt of such criminal history information, the Commission shall provide such applicant with a copy of such criminal history information, together with a copy of article twenty-three-A of the correction law, and inform such applicant of his or her right to seek correction of any incorrect information contained in such criminal history information pursuant to regulations and procedures established by the division of criminal justice services. Except as otherwise provided by law, such criminal history information shall be confidential and any person who willfully permits the release of such confidential criminal history information to persons not permitted to receive such information shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
