     349.165 Premises permits. 

    Subdivision 1.    Premises permit required; application. 
  A licensed organization may not conduct lawful gambling at 
 any site unless it has first obtained from the board a premises 
 permit for the site.  The board shall prescribe a form for 
 permit applications, and each application for a permit must be 
 submitted on a separate form.  The premises permit issued by the 
 board runs concurrently with the license of the organization 
 unless the premises permit is suspended, revoked, or voluntarily 
 terminated by the organization.  The board may by rule limit the 
 number of premises permits that may be issued to an organization.

    Subd. 2.    Contents of application.  An application for 
 a premises permit must contain: 

    (1) the name and address of the applying organization; 

    (2) a description of the site for which the permit is 
 sought, including its address and, where applicable, its 
 placement within another premises or establishment; 

    (3) if the site is leased, the name and address of the 
 lessor and information about the lease the board requires, 
 including all rents and other charges for the use of the site; 
 and 

    (4) other information the board deems necessary to carry 
 out its purposes. 

    An organization holding a premises permit must notify the 
 board in writing within ten days whenever any material change is 
 made in the above information. 

    Subd. 3.    Fees.  (a) The board may issue premises 
 permits to organizations licensed under section 349.16, 
 subdivision 6.  The annual fee for each premises permit is $150. 

    (b) In addition to the annual fee for a premises permit, an 
 organization must pay a monthly regulatory fee of 0.1 percent of 
 the organization's gross receipts from lawful gambling conducted 
 at that site.  The fee must be reported and paid on a monthly 
 basis in a format as determined by the commissioner of revenue, 
 and remitted to the commissioner of revenue along with the 
 organization's monthly tax return for that premises.  All 
 premises permit fees received by the commissioner of revenue 
 under this subdivision must be deposited in the lawful gambling 
 regulation account in the special revenue fund according to 
 section 349.151.  Failure to pay the monthly premises permit 
 fees in a timely manner may result in disciplinary action by the 
 board. 

    Subd. 4.    Identification of premises.  No organization 
 may seek or accept assistance from a manufacturer or 
 distributor, or a representative, agent, affiliate, or employee 
 of a manufacturer or distributor, in identifying potential 
 locations for gambling conducted by the organization.
