	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1932, Vincent.  California State Lottery.
   The California State Lottery Act of 1984 prohibits the use of
certain themes in lottery games, as specified.
   This bill would delete the prohibition on the use of bingo themes
in lottery games.
   The Lottery Act provides that none of its provisions may be
changed, except to further its purpose by a bill passed by a 2/3 vote
of each house of the Legislature and signed by the Governor.  This
bill would declare that its provisions further the purpose of the
act.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 8880.28 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   8880.28.  (a) The commission shall promulgate regulations
specifying the types of lottery games to be conducted by the lottery,
provided:
   (1) No lottery game may use the theme of roulette, dice, baccarat,
blackjack, Lucky 7's, draw poker, slot machines, or dog racing.
   (2) In lottery games utilizing tickets, each ticket in these games
shall bear a unique number distinguishing it from every other ticket
in that game; and no name of an elected official shall appear on
these tickets.
   (3) In games utilizing computer terminals or other devices, no
coins or currency shall be dispensed to players from these computer
terminals or devices.
   (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), no changes in the types of
games or methods of delivery of these games that incorporate
technologies or mediums that did not exist, were not widely
available, or were not commercially feasible at the time of the
enactment of this chapter in 1984 shall be made, unless all of the
following conditions are met:
   (1) This chapter is amended by statute to expressly authorize
these changes.
   (2) The act making the amendments contains express legislative
findings that the amendments are consistent with the terms of, and
further the purposes of, this chapter.
   (3) The amendments comport with applicable state and federal law.

   (c) For purposes of this section, a change in the method of
delivery means a material change in the way a consumer directly
interacts with the game.
   (d) Subdivision (b) does not apply to technological changes
implemented prior to October 11, 1993.
   (e) This section does not limit any internal technological changes
made to the equipment or components utilized by the lottery.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that this act furthers
the purpose of the California State Lottery Act of 1984 enacted by
Proposition 37 at the November 6, 1984, general election.
