BILL NUMBER: AB 270 INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Perea FEBRUARY 7, 2011 An act to amend Section 19522 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to satellite wagering. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 270, as introduced, Perea. Satellite wagering. Existing law requires that every person who participates in, or has anything to do with, the racing of horses and every employee of a parimutuel department to be licensed by the California Horse Racing Board. Existing law requires the board to set forth requirements for the position of satellite facility supervisor for all satellite wagering facilities operated by the state or on public land. The supervisor is required to monitor the performance of licensees at the facilities. This bill would create an exception from that provision by authorizing a satellite facility to elect not to be subject to the requirements related to a satellite facility supervisor if the board of directors of the satellite facility, after a public hearing, deems those requirements to be not economically feasible. 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. Section 19522 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read: 19522. (a) The board shall also set forth requirements for the position of satellite facility supervisor for all satellite wagering facilities operated by the state or on public land. The satellite facility supervisor shall, among other things, monitor the performance of licensees at the facilities. (b) A satellite facility may elect not to be subject to the requirements of this section if the board of directors of the satellite facility, after a public hearing, deems those requirements to be not economically feasible.
