           SUMMARY  

          This bill reorganizes statutes pertaining to Indian gaming 
          compacts primarily by moving them to a newly created Title 16.5 
          on Tribal Gaming in the Government Code. 

           FISCAL EFFECT  

          There are no costs associated with this legislation.

           COMMENTS  

           1)Rationale  . This bill is the annual Assembly Governmental 
            Organization Committee clean-up bill that makes clarifying, 
            technical and non-controversial changes to the existing 
            statute. The committee worked with Legislative Counsel on this 
            bill to establish a separate chapter within the Government 
            Code for all gaming compacts. 

           2)Chaptering Problem  . In moving the tribal compact language to a 
            new section of the Government Code, this bill inadvertently 
            conflicts with AB 1020 (Chesbro) ratifies the new compact 
            between the State of California and the Habermatolel Pomo of 
            Upper Lake. At some point, these two bills will need to be 
            reconciled.
