           DIGEST  :    This bill clarifies and updates the definition  
          of "key employee" in the Gambling Control Act, and provides  
                                                           CONTINUED

          the California Gambling Control Commission (CGCC) with the  
          authority to administer oaths of office to new CGCC members  
          and other specified employees of CGCC and to certify  
          official acts in connection with the business of CGCC.

           Assembly Amendments  delete provisions that revised the  
          definition of "key employee" in the Gambling Control Act.

           ANALYSIS :    

          Existing law, the Gambling Control Act (Act), provides for  
          the licensure of certain individuals and establishments  
          involved in various gambling activities, and for the  
          regulation of those activities, by the CGCC. 

          Existing law requires the chief and each member of CGCC  
          subscribe to the constitutional oath of office and also  
          swear that he or she is not pecuniarily interested in, or  
          doing business with, any person, business, or organization  
          holding a gambling license.  

          This bill authorizes the executive director and members of  
          CGCC to administer oaths and certify official acts in  
          connection with the business of CGCC.

           Comments

           According to the author's office, this bill is necessary to  
          clarify and codify the duties and powers of the executive  
          director and members of the CGCC so they can administer  
          their daily duties without ambiguity  .
