                        FEBRUARY 19, 2016

   An act to amend Section 19604.7 of the Business and Professions
Code, relating to horse racing.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2808, Gipson. Horse racing: exchange wagering: operative
extension.
   The Horse Racing Law authorizes exchange wagering, as provided,
and authorizes the California Horse Racing Board to recover any costs
associated with the licensing or regulation of exchange wagering by
imposing an assessment on the exchange wagering licensee in an amount
that does not exceed the reasonable costs associated with the
licensing or regulation of exchange wagering. Existing law requires
any racing association or racing fair receiving distributions from
any exchange provider's exchange revenues to distribute a portion of
that revenue to the official registering agency in a specified
manner. Existing law makes these exchange wagering provisions
inoperative on May 1, 2016, and repeals them on January 1, 2017.
Violations of the Horse Racing Law are generally misdemeanors.
    This bill would extend those inoperative and repeal dates to May
1, 2020, and January 1, 2021, respectively. The bill, by extending
these requirements, the violation of which is a crime, would impose a
state-mandated local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 19604.7 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   19604.7.  This article shall become inoperative on May 1, 2020,
and, as of January 1, 2021, is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2021, deletes
or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is
repealed.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
