1. (a) The division will license a certified vending facility manager into a vending program when

   1. (1) a vending facility in that vending program is available for immediate placement; and
   2. (2) the division and the certified vending facility manager have entered into a written operating agreement setting out the manager's duties under this chapter.
2. (b) A temporary license is issued for an initial six-month evaluation period. Following successful completion of the six-month period, evidenced by the licensee's compliance with 8 AAC 98.370, a permanent license will be issued. A license is not transferable and is revocable under 8 AAC 98.460. A license does not authorize the holder to operate a vending facility at a location other than that described in the license.

3. (c) The division will apply the following priorities in the order listed to select a certified vending facility manager for licensure:

   1. (1) a current licensee who requests a new location; when more than one licensee requests promotion or transfer to another facility, the division will review each candidate based on seniority, training, and past performance as described in 8 AAC 98.370;
   2. (2) a certified vending facility manager who has demonstrated his ability to manage a facility; when more than one manager requests placement in a facility, the division will review each candidate based on seniority, evaluations by the division staff, and evaluation reports filed by licensees for whom the manager has worked; and
   3. (3) a former licensee who wishes to return to a vending program and whose previous record demonstrates his ability as a licensee; the division will review each candidate based on training, experience, past performance, and reason for leaving the vending program.
