(c) A disclosure of all the states and jurisdictions in which the vendor has contracts to supply gaming goods or services,
including, but not limited to, lottery goods and services, and the nature of the goods or services involved for each such state
or jurisdiction.
(d) A disclosure of all the states and jurisdictions in which the vendor has applied for, has sought renewal of, has received,
has been denied, has pending, or has had revoked a gaming license of any kind, or had fines or penalties assessed on their
license, contract, or operation, and the disposition of such in each such state or jurisdiction. If any lottery license or contract
has been revoked or has not been renewed or any lottery license or application has remained pending for more than six (6)
months, then it shall be disclosed.
(e) A disclosure of the details of any finding of a plea, conviction or adjudication for guilt, in a state or federal court, of the
vendor for any felony or any other criminal offense other than a traffic violation.
(f) A disclosure of the details of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, corporate or individual purchase or takeover of
another corporation, including bonded indebtedness, or any pending litigation of the vendor.
(g) Such additional disclosures and information as the corporation may determine to be appropriate for the procurement
involved. If the vendor subcontracts any substantial portion of the work to be performed under the contract to a subcontractor,
the vendor shall disclose all of the information required by this subsection for the subcontractor as if the subcontractor were
itself a vendor.
(3) In no case shall the corporation enter into a contract for a procurement of any video lottery or video lottery terminal or any
other illegal lottery device, and shall only enter into a contract for a procurement for any lottery system with a vendor who
has complied with the disclosures required by the corporation and described in subsection (2) of this section, and any contract
with such a vendor is void and unenforceable. Any contract with a vendor who does not comply with such requirements for
periodically updating such disclosures during the tenure of a contract as may be specified in such contract is voidable and may
be terminated by the corporation. The provisions of this section shall be construed broadly and liberally to achieve the ends of
full disclosure of all information necessary to allow for a full and complete evaluation by the corporation of the competence,
integrity, background and character of vendors.
(4)(a) A contract shall not be entered into with any vendor who has been found guilty of a felony related to the security or
integrity of the lottery in this or any other jurisdiction or with any vendor who is found to be in possession of any illegal lottery
device.
(b) A contract shall not be entered into with any vendor who has not first obtained a signed tax clearance from the
Commissioner of Revenue indicating that the vendor is current in filing all applicable tax returns and in payment of all taxes,
interest and penalties owed to the State of Mississippi, excluding items under formal appeal pursuant to applicable statutes.
(5) The corporation may require that each vendor shall, at the execution of the contract with the corporation, post a performance
bond or letter of credit from a bank acceptable to the corporation, in an amount established by the corporation subject to the
provisions of Section 27-115-61. In lieu of the bond, a vendor may, to assure the faithful performance of its obligations, deposit
and maintain with the corporation securities that are interest-bearing or accruing and that are rated in one (1) of the three (3)
