	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 357, Ducheny. Tribal gaming: grants to local jurisdictions.
   Existing law creates in the State Treasury the Indian Gaming
Special Distribution Fund for the receipt and deposit of moneys
received by the state from certain Indian tribes pursuant to the
terms of gaming compacts entered into with the state. Existing law
authorizes moneys in that fund to be used for specified purposes,
including grants to local jurisdictions to mitigate the impacts of
tribal casinos. Existing law, until January 1, 2010, requires the
Controller to take specified actions to administer moneys in the fund
in connection with those grants, and establishes procedures for
awarding those grants.
   This bill would extend the operation of the above provisions
relating to the administration and awarding of grants to local
jurisdictions until January 1, 2021.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 12718 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   12718.  This chapter shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2021, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute
that is enacted before January 1, 2021, deletes or extends that
date.
