	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1042, as amended, Hall. Indian Gaming Special Distribution
Fund.
   Existing law creates in the State Treasury the Indian Gaming
Special Distribution Fund for the receipt and deposit of moneys
received by the state from certain Indian tribes pursuant to the
terms of gaming compacts entered into with the state. Existing law
authorizes moneys in that fund to be used for specified purposes,
including for grants for the support of state and local government
agencies impacted by tribal government gaming. Existing law, until
January 1, 2021, establishes the method of calculating the
distribution of appropriations from the Indian Gaming Special
Distribution Fund for those grants to local government agencies
impacted by tribal gaming and requires the Department of Finance, in
consultation with the California Gambling Control Commission, to
calculate the total revenue in the Indian Gaming Special Distribution
Fund that will be available for the current budget year for the
local government agencies.
   This  bill, instead,  bill  would
require the Department of Finance, in consultation with the
California Gambling Control Commission, to  calculate and 
provide a recommendation regarding the total revenue in the Indian
Gaming Special Distribution Fund that will be available for the
current budget year for the local government agencies.  The bill
would require the department, in making its recommendation, to
consider any anticipated revenue from additional tribal gaming
operations. The bill would additionally require the department to
include certain   information with the recommendation,
including, among other things, the total amount of payments projected
to be received into the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund
during the current budget year, as specified, and the amount of
appropriations made in the previous 10 years from the fund for local
government agencies impacted by tribal gaming pursuant to certain
tribal   -gaming compacts. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
