Renewals involve a two-step process. First, a public hearing is held before the director of the PGCB’s Office of Hearings and Appeals for the purpose of receiving documentary evidence, hearing testimony and building a record which the Board will use in its licensing decision. The hearing record, along with a report from the Director of Hearings and Appeals, will be transmitted to the board.
The second step is a later public hearing in Harrisburg where representatives for the casino licensee will offer evidence and oral arguments. At that time, the board members can ask additional questions. After this. the Board will determine whether the licensee is eligible to have their licence renewed for a five-year period.
