Item 1

 
gaming agency may suspend or revoke any gaming services
registration issued pursuant to this subchapter if new
information concerning facts arising either prior to or since
the issuance of the original registration or any registration
renewal comes to the attention of the state gaming agency, which
information would justify denial of such original registration
or any registration renewal pursuant to subsection 2; provided
that a registration may not be revoked or suspended except after
such notice and hearing as is generally required for similar
administrative actions under the administrative procedures
applicable to agencies of the State; and provided that the
enterprise is entitled to any payment due for services provided
or goods delivered prior to the effective date of suspension or
revocation of its registration.

 
4.__Appeal of registration decisions.__A decision of the
state gaming agency to deny, suspend or revoke a registration
pursuant to this section, following any administrative review
or appeal that may be permitted by the state gaming agency in
accordance with procedures that it may establish, constitutes
final agency action subject to judicial review in the manner
provided by the Maine Administrative Procedure Act.

 
5.__Investigation of nongaming enterprises.__Any enterprise
that provides goods or services to the tribal gaming operator
other than gaming services or gaming equipment in a total
amount exceeding the sum of $50,000 in a single calendar year
and any labor organization seeking to represent employees of
the tribal gaming operator must be identified by the tribal
gaming operator to the state gaming agency and shall agree to
cooperate with the state gaming agency and the state law
enforcement agency in any investigation considered necessary
by either agency relative to the fitness of the enterprise or
labor organization to engage in business with a gaming
operation or relative to the conduct of the enterprise or
labor organization in connection with that activity.__The
state gaming agency may bar an enterprise from providing goods
or services to the tribal gaming operator or a labor
organization from receiving dues from licensed employees of
the tribal gaming operator or may bar the principal of a labor
organization from representing the employees upon a
determination that the enterprise or labor organization or a
principal of such labor organization is a person or entity
whose prior activities, criminal record, if any, or
reputation, habits and associations pose a threat to the
effective regulation of gaming or create or enhance the
dangers of unfair or illegal practices, methods and activities
in the conduct of gaming; provided that the enterprise or
labor organization may appeal a determination in the manner
provided pursuant to the Maine Administrative Procedure Act.
