INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Perea

                        FEBRUARY 7, 2011

   An act to amend Section 19522 of the Business and Professions
Code, relating to satellite wagering.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 270, as introduced, Perea. Satellite wagering.
   Existing law requires that every person who participates in, or
has anything to do with, the racing of horses and every employee of a
parimutuel department to be licensed by the California Horse Racing
Board. Existing law requires the board to set forth requirements for
the position of satellite facility supervisor for all satellite
wagering facilities operated by the state or on public land. The
supervisor is required to monitor the performance of licensees at the
facilities.
   This bill would create an exception from that provision by
authorizing a satellite facility to elect not to be subject to the
requirements related to a satellite facility supervisor if the board
of directors of the satellite facility, after a public hearing, deems
those requirements to be not economically feasible.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 19522 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   19522.   (a)    The board shall also set forth
requirements for the position of satellite facility supervisor for
all satellite wagering facilities operated by the state or on public
land. The satellite facility supervisor shall, among other things,
monitor the performance of licensees at the facilities. 
   (b) A satellite facility may elect not to be subject to the
requirements of this section if the board of directors of the
satellite facility, after a public hearing, deems those requirements
to be not economically feasible.
