	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1417, as amended,  Committee on Governmental
Organization   Hall  . Tribal  gaming.
  gaming: local agencies.  
   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 for grants for the support of state and local government
agencies impacted by tribal government gaming.  
   This bill would appropriate $18,200,000 from the Indian Gaming
Special Distribution Fund to the California Gambling Control
Commission to provide grants to local agencies.  
   Existing federal law, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988,
provides for the negotiation and execution of tribal-state gaming
compacts for the purpose of authorizing certain types of gaming on
Indian lands within a state. The California Constitution authorizes
the Governor to negotiate and conclude compacts, subject to
ratification by the Legislature.  
   Existing law ratifies a number of tribal-state gaming compacts
between the State of California and specified Indian tribes. Existing
law creates in the State Treasury the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing
Trust Fund and the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund for the
receipt and deposit of moneys received by the state from Indian
tribes pursuant to the terms of gaming compacts entered into with the
state, and authorizes moneys in those funds to be used for certain
purposes. Existing law, until January 1, 2021, establishes the method
of calculating the distribution of appropriations from the Indian
Gaming Special Distribution Fund for grants to local government
agencies impacted by tribal gaming.  
   This bill would reorganize and make technical, nonsubstantive
changes to these provisions. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation:  no   yes
 . Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.


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

   SECTION 1.    There is hereby appropriated the sum of
eighteen million two hundred thousand dollars ($18,200,000) from the
Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund to the California Gambling
Control Commission to provide grants to local agencies pursuant to
Section 12715 of the Government Code for the 2011-12 fiscal year.
 All matter omitted in this version of the bill appears in the
bill as introduced in the Assembly, March 21, 2011. (JR11)
