	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1096, Dutton   Satellite wagering: fairs.
   Existing law permits fairs in specified counties to operate
satellite wagering facilities, under certain circumstances, within
their boundaries.
   This bill would add San Bernardino to those counties that may
operate satellite wagering facilities.
   Under existing law, revenues distributed to the state from
horseracing are deposited in the Fair and Exposition Fund and are
continuously appropriated to the Department of Food and Agriculture
for various regulatory and general governmental purposes.
    This bill would authorize additional satellite wagering, and
would thereby increase the amount of money deposited into a
continuously appropriated fund, thereby making an appropriation.
   Appropriation: yes.


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


  SECTION. 1.  Section 19605.51 of the Business and Professions Code
is amended to read:
   19605.51.  Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 19605, and
Section 19605.1, any fair in San Joaquin, San Bernardino, Humboldt,
or Fresno County may, with the approval of the Department of Food and
Agriculture and the authorization of the board, subject to the
conditions specified in Section 19605.3, operate a satellite wagering
facility on leased premises within the boundaries of that fair, but
may only operate one such facility.
