5-1308. Supplier license
A. The department may issue a supplier license to a person that manufactures, distributes, sells or leases event wagering equipment, systems or other gaming items to conduct event wagering and offers services related to the equipment or other gaming items and data to an event wagering operator or limited event wagering operator while the license is active. The department may accept a license issued by another jurisdiction that the department determines to have similar licensure requirements as evidence the applicant meets supplier licensure requirements.
B. The department may adopt rules that establish additional requirements for a supplier and any system or other equipment used for event wagering.
C. An applicant for a supplier license shall demonstrate that the equipment, system or services that the applicant plans to offer to the event wagering operator conform to standards established by the department and applicable state law. The department may accept approval by another jurisdiction that the department determines has similar equipment standards as evidence the applicant meets the standards established by the department and applicable state law.
D. An applicant shall pay to the department a nonrefundable license and application fee as prescribed by section 5-1310. A license is valid for two years. The department shall grant a renewal of a supplier license if the renewal applicant has continued to comply with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, submits the renewal application on a department-issued renewal form and pays the renewal fee prescribed by section 5-1310. The department shall deposit, pursuant to sections 35-146 and 35-147, the fees collected from licensees under this subsection in the event wagering fund established by section 5-1318.
E. A supplier shall submit to the department a list of all event wagering equipment and services sold, delivered or offered to an event wagering operator in this state, as required by the department, all of which must be tested and approved by an independent testing laboratory approved by the department. An event wagering operator or limited event wagering operator may continue to use supplies acquired from a licensed supplier, even if a supplier's license expires or is otherwise canceled, unless the department finds a defect in the supplies.
