An act to amend Section 12012.75 of the Government Code, relating to gaming.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 338, as introduced, Mathis. Tribal gaming.

Existing federal law, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, provides for the negotiation and execution of tribal-state gaming compacts for the purpose of authorizing certain types of gaming on Indian lands within a state. The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to negotiate and conclude compacts, subject to ratification by the Legislature. Existing law establishes the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund within the State Treasury for the receipt and deposit of moneys received by the state from Indian tribes pursuant to the terms of tribal-state gaming compacts for the purpose of making distributions to eligible recipient Indian tribes.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
