Summary

Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary

Existing law, the Gambling Control Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of various legalized gambling activities and establishments by the California Gambling Control Commission and the investigation and enforcement of those activities and establishments by the Department of Justice. Existing law establishes the Gambling Control Fund within the State Treasury for the receipt and deposit of fees and revenue collected pursuant to the act. Under the act, specified licensing fees are required to be paid for the issuance or renewal of a state gambling license, as specified. Existing law requires that all fees and revenue collected pursuant to the act, except all fines and penalties, be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for expenditure exclusively for the support of the department and the commission in carrying out their duties and responsibilities under the act. This bill would require the commission or the department, upon the adoption or amendment of a fee that is deposited into the Gambling Control Fund, to post on its public internet website a detailed statement of the need for, purpose of, and authorized use of the fee, including the general activities the fee is intended to support, along with reference to publicly available rulemaking materials. The bill would state that these provisions do not apply to a fee adopted or amended prior to January 1, 2027.
