	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 3072, as introduced, Committee on Governmental Organization.
Tribal gaming: compacts.
   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.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to codify
statutes relating to tribal-state gaming compacts in a specified
location within the provisions of law applicable to the Governor.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Article 9 (commencing with Section 12093.01) is added
to Chapter 1 of Part 2 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government
Code, to read:

      Article 9.  Tribal-State Gaming Compacts


   12093.01.  It is the intent of the Legislature that statutes
relating to tribal-state gaming compacts be codified within this
article.
