2. If the denial or revocation was based on acts constituting a disqualifying offense pursuant to N.J.S.A. 5:12-86.c and 86.g and reapplication is to be evaluated under the standards of N.J.S.A. 5:12-89, reapplication is permitted after the lapse of 10 years from the date of the conduct in question; and
3. If the Commission approves an agreement resolving an application for, or a complaint seeking the revocation of a license or qualification that results in denial or revocation but permits reapplication or employment by a casino licensee after a stated period of less than five years, eligibility for reapplication or employment by a casino licensee shall be governed by the terms of the agreement and not by the provisions of this section.
(b) Any natural person whose casino key employee license or qualification is denied or revoked by the Commission on the basis of any of the statutory or regulatory provisions in (b)1 through 5 below may reapply for a casino key employee license or qualification upon satisfaction of the relevant requirements of this subsection. If the denial or revocation is based upon two or more statutory or regulatory provisions, the Commission shall permit reapplication only upon compliance with the requirements of this subsection as to each such provision. Any person seeking to reapply pursuant to this subsection shall file a certified petition stating with particularity how the specified requirements have been satisfied
1. Failure to demonstrate financial stability pursuant to N.J.S.A. 5:12-89.b(1): Reapplication is permitted upon achieving financial stability.
2. Failure to satisfy the residency requirement set forth in N.J.S.A. 5:12-89.b(4): Reapplication is permitted upon establishment of a New Jersey residence, or upon a Commission finding that such residency will be established before the processing of said reapplication has been completed, or upon a Commission finding that the residency requirement should be waived pursuant to N.J.S.A. 5:12-89.b(4).
3. Failure to satisfy the age requirement set forth in N.J.A.C. 19:41A-5.3(c): Reapplication is permitted upon attaining the requisite age or upon a Commission finding that such age will be attained before the processing of said reapplication has been completed.
4. Pending charges for a disqualifying offense pursuant to N.J.S.A. 5:12-86.c and 86.d: Reapplication is permitted upon disposition of the pending charges provided the charges do not result in conviction of a disqualifying offense pursuant to N.J.S.A. 5:12-86.c.
5. Any statutory or regulatory provision, which is subsequently repealed or modified: Reapplication is permitted upon a showing that the subsequent repeal or modification of the statutory or regulatory provision obviates the grounds for denial or revocation and justifies the conclusion that the prior decision should no longer bar reapplication.
