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


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2218, as introduced, Burke. Gambling: licenses.
   Existing law, the Gambling Control Act, provides for the licensure
and regulation of various legalized gambling activities and
establishments by the California Gambling Control Commission and the
investigation and enforcement of those activities and establishments
by the Department of Justice. Existing law 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 also
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 45 calendar days after receipt of the order.
   This bill would instead require the application described above to
be filed within 60 calendar days after receipt of an order of the
commission.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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