	BILL TEXT

	AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY  MAY 12, 2011

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 amended, 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  fair  satellite facility  generating less
than $10,000,000 annually in total handle  to elect not to be
subject to the requirements related to a satellite facility
supervisor if the board of directors of the  fair  satellite
facility, after a public hearing, deems those requirements to be not
economically feasible  and notice of the fair board's action is
provided to the California Horse Racing Board within 10 days of
approval by the fair board, in which case the bill would require the
fair satellite facility to continue to abide by all laws and
regulations pertaining to the operation of a satellite facility 
.
   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  fair  satellite facility  generating less than
ten million dollars ($10,000,000) annually in total handle  may
elect not to be subject to the requirements of this section if the
board of directors of the  fair  satellite facility, after a
public hearing, deems those requirements to be not economically
feasible  .   and both of the following
requirements are met:  
   (1) The fair satellite facility shall continue to abide by all
laws and regulations pertaining to the operation of a satellite
facility.  
   (2) Notice of the fair board's action shall be provided to the
board within 10 days of approval by the fair board.
