	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 610, as introduced, Corbett. Gambling establishments: Santa
Clara County.
   The Gambling Control Act provides for the licensure of certain
individuals and establishments involved in various gambling
activities, and for the regulation of those activities, by the
California Gambling Control Commission. The act requires an
application for a gambling license to be made on a specified form,
and prohibits a local jurisdiction from authorizing an expansion of
gambling, except as specified.
   This bill would provide that, notwithstanding the above
provisions, a gambling establishment licensed by the commission and
operating in the City of San Jose on January 1, 2010, may change its
location within the County of Santa Clara by providing the commission
with notice at least 3 months prior to that change. The bill would
provide that these provisions do not supersede any local measure
prohibiting or regulating gambling establishments.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
