(a) of Section 8880.4.
The Lottery Act is found in Government Code Sections
8880-8880.72. In current law, Government Code Section
8880.4(a)(3) contains a cross-reference to Section 8880.32
of the Government Code. Section 8880.32 of the Government
Code was repealed and renumbered to 8880.321 by AB 218
(Chapter 363, Statutes of 1995). AB 218 did not make a
corresponding change to Government Code Section
8880.4(a)(3), which cross-referenced section 8880.32.
This bill corrects the erroneous cross-reference contained
in the Act by replacing the reference to "8880.32" to
"8880.321" in Government Code Section 8880.4(a)(3).
Prior Legislation
AB 1654 (Budget), Chapter 764, Statutes of 2008, would have
implemented a number of changes to the Lottery Act to
"modernize" the Lottery if the voters would have approved
Proposition 1C (which was placed on the ballot by SCA 12
(Resolution Chapter 143 of 2008) in May 2009. Included in
AB 1654 was a correction of the erroneous cross-reference
found in Section 8880.4(a)(3). The correction was in a
section of AB 1654 that would only become operative if the
voters passed Proposition 1C. The voters did not approve
Proposition 1C, therefore, the correction did not take
effect.
AB 218 (Richter), Chapter 363, Statutes of 1995, enacted
clean-up changes to Lottery Act authorizing court ordered
assignment of Lottery prizes under specified circumstances.
Inadvertently created an erroneous cross-reference in
Government Code Section 8880.4(a)(3).
