Licensing and the Collection Process

If you’re an attorney, Minnesota Statute 270B.07 allows us to send formal complaints to the Minnesota Supreme Court and the Lawyers Board of Professional Responsibility.

The Minnesota Gambling Control Board must revoke a license if a person owes $500 or more in taxes and is missing required returns. 

This applies to:

• A gambling manager
• A director, officer, partner, managerial employee, or sales employee of a business that distributes gambling equipment, manufactures gambling equipment, or operates a bingo hall.

Minnesota Statute 349.155, subdivision 3 provides a full list of disqualifications for a gambling license.

The Minnesota State Lottery cannot sell lottery tickets to retailers who:

• Have not filed tax returns
• Owe $500 or more in taxes

Minnesota Statute 349A.06, subdivision 2 provides a full list of qualifications for a lottery retailer.

We can revoke the license of any business that has an officer or qualified person (a person listed on the building contractor license) who owes $500 or more in taxes. 

We will inform a business whose license is at risk of revocation by sending a notice that includes: 

• The officer’s or qualified person’s name
• License information
• Administrative hearing rights
