LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1421, as introduced, Linder. Gambling Control Act.
Existing law, the Gambling Control Act, provides for the licensure
and regulation of various legalized gambling activities and
establishments by the California Gambling Control Commission. The
willful failure to pay the required license fee is a crime.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that
provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

fine of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000), or by both that
