(b) A gaming facility licensee or casino vendor licensee or registrant intending to serve alcoholic beverages within a gaming facility shall file a casino alcoholic beverage license application the commission supplies and may amend from time to time, except that the commission may instead consider an application for facilities applying for a conversion of an existing alcoholic beverage license pursuant to subdivision (g) of this section.
(c) A gaming facility licensee or casino vendor licensee or registrant intending to serve alcoholic beverages at the commencement of operations of a gaming facility shall file its application at least 30 days prior to the projected date, except for an application for conversion of an existing alcoholic beverage license pursuant to subdivision (g) of this section, which the commission may accept at any time.
(d) Each casino alcoholic beverage licensee shall submit to the commission for review and approval any amendments to its casino alcoholic beverage license at least 30 days prior to the intended implementation of such amendment. The casino alcoholic beverage licensee may implement a proposed amendment on the 30th calendar day following the filing of such amendment with the commission, unless the commission provides notice pursuant to subdivision (e) of this section objecting to such amendment.
(e) If during the 30-day review period the commission determines that any amendment is inconsistent with the intent of this Part, the commission shall, by delivering written notice to the casino alcoholic beverage licensee, object to such amendment. Such objection notice shall:
1. (1) specify the nature of the objection and, when possible, an acceptable alternative; and
2. (2) direct that such amendment not be implemented.
