### sec.43A Investigations about casino key employees or casino employees This section applies to a casino key employee or casino employee while the employee’s licence remains in force. The chief executive may investigate the employee, including by assessing— the employee’s integrity, responsibility, personal background and financial stability; and the general reputation of the employee having regard to character, honesty and integrity; and the suitability of the employee to perform the duties of a casino key employee or casino employee. The chief executive may exercise the powers under subsection (2) only if— the chief executive believes the investigation is necessary because of changed circumstances of the particular employee; or the investigation is made under an audit program for casino key employees or casino employees. The chief executive may, by written notice, ask a person to whom an investigation relates to give information or material the chief executive considers is necessary for the investigation. The person must comply with the chief executive’s notice unless the person has a reasonable excuse. Maximum penalty—200 penalty units or 1 year’s imprisonment. It is a reasonable excuse for the person not to comply with the notice if complying with the request might tend to incriminate the person. The person does not commit an offence against this section if the information sought by the chief executive is not in fact relevant to the investigation. If, for an investigation about a casino key employee or casino employee under this section, the chief executive asks the police commissioner for a written report about the employee’s criminal history, the commissioner must give the report to the chief executive. However, the report is required to contain only criminal history in the commissioner’s possession or to which the commissioner has access. s 43A ins 1995 No. 6 s 6 amd 1997 No. 57 s 13 ; 2003 No. 26 s 18 sch ; 2024 No. 10 s 13 (sec.43A-ssec.1) This section applies to a casino key employee or casino employee while the employee’s licence remains in force.
