Section 13:69A-9.3 - Payment of fees and civil penalties

(a) No application shall be accepted for filing by the Division or processed by the Division except upon proper and timely payment of all required fees and civil penalties in accordance with the Act and the rules of the Division. Any portion of a fee which is incurred or determined after the filing of the application or resubmission papers or which is estimated in accordance with this subchapter, and any civil penalty imposed by the Division, shall be payable upon demand made by the Division. Failure to promptly remit any amount so demanded shall be deemed a failure to timely pay the required fee or civil penalty unless the Division finds cause to permit an extension of time in which to remit the demanded amount.

(b) Any fee or civil penalty required to be paid in accordance with this subchapter or pursuant to an order of the Division shall be paid before the Division shall consider the application for issuance or retention of licensure, unless the Division finds cause to permit an extension of time in which to pay such fee or civil penalty.

(c) All fees and civil penalties shall be paid by check or money order made payable, in the case of fees, to the "Casino Control Fund" and in the case of civil penalties to the "Casino Revenue Fund." The Division also may accept credit cards and debit cards for payment of any fee or civil penalty that does not exceed $ 5,000. No check, credit card or debit card so presented shall be deemed payment until the Division shall be satisfied that the appropriate funds have been credited to the Division's account.

(d) Unless otherwise directed by the Division, all payments of fees or civil penalties received from licensees, registrants or applicants shall be credited against, in chronological order (the oldest shall be paid first), any outstanding debts for fees or civil penalties that the person owes pursuant to the Act and the rules of the Division.

(e) A required fee or civil penalty shall be considered paid only if the Division is satisfied that the person obligated to pay the fee or civil penalty owes no other debts for fees or civil penalties.

(f) Any required fee or civil penalty that a person fails to pay despite demand therefore shall constitute cause for the Division to take the following administrative actions, as applicable, with regard to such person:

1. Dismiss any application or resubmission papers submitted by such person;

2. Suspend any license or registration held by such person;

3. Suspend any permission granted to such person pursuant to 13:69A-8.10 or 8.11;

4. Prohibit the filing of an application for or retention of any license or registration;

5. Prohibit employment by a casino licensee or applicant in a position that does not require a license or registration;

6. Prohibit the transaction of any direct or indirect business with a casino licensee or applicant;

7. Prohibit the holding of a position with any casino service industry enterprise licensee or applicant for which such person would be required to establish his or her qualification pursuant to N.J.S.A. 5:12-92b; and

8. Prohibit the holding of a position with any casino licensee for which such person would be required to establish his or her qualification pursuant to 13:69C-2.2.

(g) The provisions of (f) above shall apply without regard to whether the license or registration was issued, the permission was granted, the application was submitted or the Vendor Registration Form was filed before the debt arose.
