BILL NUMBER:  AB 2218
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2218 without my signature.

This bill provides the owners of the Hollywood Park Casino three
additional years to divest of its interest in the card club or the
SLS Casino in Nevada.

The City of Champions Revitalization Project will continue to bring
enormous economic benefits to Inglewood regardless of whether the
cardroom is sold next year or in 2020. If our gambling laws are based
on outdated policies or assumptions, we should thoughtfully examine
those laws and amend them so that all participants in the industry
receive the same benefits and opportunities.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
