A. Organizations wishing to conduct remote caller bingo shall submit a request to do so to the town clerk, such application may be submitted at the same time as an application for a traditional bingo license pursuant to section 5.30.050 of this chapter. The request shall be accompanied by any information reasonably necessary to permit the sheriff's captain to determine that the proposed remote caller bingo operation and games will be conducted in compliance with this chapter and all other applicable state and local laws and regulations, expressly including, but not limited to, all applicable administrative and management agreements.
B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection A of this section, any organization possessing a valid traditional bingo license issued pursuant to section 5.30.050 of this chapter may submit a request for authorization to conduct remote caller bingo games at any time. However, such requests shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable filing fee in an amount determined by resolution of the council from time to time. The request shall also be accompanied by any information reasonably necessary to permit the sheriff's captain to determine that the proposed remote caller bingo operation and games will be conducted in compliance with this chapter and all applicable state laws and regulations.
C. Approvals to conduct remote caller bingo issued pursuant to this section shall be valid until the end of the calendar year in which they were issued or the expiration of the traditional bingo license that the approval was incorporated into or attached to, whichever is earlier. A new approval granted creates no vested right on the part of the licensee to continue to offer remote caller bingo for play. The town council expressly reserves the right to amend or repeal this section at any time. If this section is repealed, all approvals granted pursuant to this section shall cease to be effective for any purpose on the effective date of the repealing legislation.
D. In the event an organization only wishes to conduct remote caller bingo games, it shall not be required to undergo the investigations required pursuant to subsection 5.30.050D of this chapter provided it obtains and maintains all necessary state licenses and registrations required by Penal Code section 326.3 and submits copies of such licenses and registrations with its application pursuant to this section. Any organization exempt from town investigations pursuant to this subsection shall only conduct remote caller bingo games and shall not conduct traditional bingo games pursuant to section 5.30.020 of this chapter.
