The show cause notice must state the following— the action the chief executive proposes taking under this subdivision (the proposed action ); the grounds for the proposed action; an outline of the facts and circumstances forming the basis for the grounds; if the proposed action is suspension of the licence—the proposed suspension period; that the licensed keno employee may, within a stated period (the show cause period ), make written representations to the chief executive to show why the proposed action should not be taken. The show cause period must end at least 21 days after the licensed keno employee is given the show cause notice. Subsection (5) applies if the chief executive believes— the licensed keno employee is employed by, or a key operator of, a keno licensee; and the existence of the grounds for the proposed action is likely to adversely affect the conduct of approved keno games by the keno licensee. The chief executive must immediately give a copy of the show cause notice to the keno licensee. The keno licensee may make written representations about the show cause notice to the chief executive in the show cause period. s 62 sub 2004 No. 21 s 76 (sec.62-ssec.1) If the chief executive believes a ground exists to suspend or cancel a keno employee licence, the chief executive must before taking action to suspend or cancel the licence give the licensed keno employee a written notice (a show cause notice ).
