An act to amend Section 19855 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to gaming.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 472, as introduced, Hill. Gaming: licenses.

The Gambling Control Act provides for the licensure of certain individuals and establishments involved in various gambling activities, and for the regulation of those activities, by the California Gambling Control Commission. The act requires every person who is required to hold a state license to obtain the license prior to engaging in the activity or occupying the position with respect to which the license is required, except as specified. Existing law requires every person who, by order of the commission, is required to apply for a gambling license or a finding of suitability to file an application within 30 calendar days after receipt of the order.

This bill would instead require the application described above to be filed within 45 calendar days after receipt of an order of the commission.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
