(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of205 CMR 235.00, upon petition to the Commission by an Operator, the Commission may issue a temporary Occupational License to an Applicant for an Occupational License if:

(a) the Applicant for an Occupational License has filed a completed application with the Commission and has submitted all of the disclosure forms as required by the Division of Licensing;

(b) the Operator certifies, and the Bureau finds, that the issuance of a temporary Occupational License is necessary for the operation of Sports Wagering and is not designed to circumvent the normal licensing procedures; and

(c) the Operator certifies that, to the best of its reasonable knowledge and belief, the proposed temporary Occupational Licensee meets the qualifications for licensure pursuant to 205 CMR 234.05 and that the Operator understands that it may be denied an Operator License if it has willfully, knowingly or intentionally provided false or misleading information regarding the proposed vendor.

(2) An Applicant for an Occupational License on or before August 31, 2023 shall demonstrate its suitability for temporary licensure upon certification by the Applicant under the pains and penalties of perjury that the Applicant:

(a) is not disqualified under one or more of the criteria listed in 205 CMR 234.05(3);

(b) is properly licensed or registered, and in good standing, to conduct the same operations in every other jurisdiction where they are employed in an equivalent position; and

(c) has disclosed any other information not previously disclosed of which it is aware or reasonably should be aware which would negatively impact a determination on the Applicant's suitability for an Occupational License.

(3) On or after September 1, 2023, a temporary Occupational License shall issue, unless:

(a) A preliminary review of the Applicant shows that the Applicant is disqualified under one or more of the criteria listed in 205 CMR 234.05(3); or

(b) A preliminary review of the Applicant shows that the Applicant will be unable to establish his or her qualifications for licensure under the standards set forth in 205 CMR 234.05(1).

(4) If an Applicant for a temporary Occupational License is licensed or registered in another jurisdiction within the United States with comparable license and registration requirements, as determined by the Bureau, and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which they hold such a license or registration, the Commission may issue the Applicant a temporary Occupational License; provided, however, that the Commission shall reserve its rights to investigate the qualifications of an Applicant at any time.

(5) Unless otherwise stated by the Commission, a temporary Occupational License issued under this 205 CMR 235.06 shall expire upon issuance of a full Occupational License or upon suspension or revocation of the temporary Occupational License, and in any event no later than the term of the license as set forth in 205 CMR 235.08(1).
