§ 44-30-503. Licenses - revocable - nontransferable.

Every license issued pursuant to this article 30 is revocable and nontransferable. No licensee acquires any vested interest or property right in a license. The gaming licenses issued pursuant to this article 30 are only for the particular location initially authorized. The revocable privilege for any license issued or other approval granted is conditioned upon the proper and continuing qualification of the licensee or registrant and upon the discharge of the affirmative responsibility of each licensee or registrant to provide to the regulatory, investigatory, and law enforcement authorities any assistance and information necessary to assure that the policies and requirements of this article 30 are achieved.

ANNOTATION

License conditions and revocation authorized by law and constitution. The gaming commission was within its statutory authority in conditioning a key employee license on payment of back child support and taxes and revoking such license for failure to comply with such conditions. The gaming commission did not abuse its discretion or violate due process in so revoking the license where the licensee was given a reasonable opportunity to comply with such conditions, failed to provide requested income tax returns, and made false statements of material fact to the investigator regarding the filing of tax returns and where the gaming commission provided the licensee with substantial evidentiary leeway, allowed the licensee to cross-examine and impeach the investigator, and gave the licensee the opportunity to argue the proper standard for license revocation. Feeney v. Colo. Ltd. Gaming Control Comm'n, 890 P.2d 173 (Colo. App. 1994) (decided under former § 12-47.1-504).
