An act relating to tribal gaming, and making an appropriation therefor.  LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1417, as amended,  Committee on Governmental Organization   Hall  . Tribal  gaming.   gaming: local agencies.   Existing law creates in the State Treasury the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund for the receipt and deposit of moneys received by the state from certain Indian tribes pursuant to the terms of gaming compacts entered into with the state. Existing law authorizes moneys in that fund to be used for specified purposes, including for grants for the support of state and local government agencies impacted by tribal government gaming.   This bill would appropriate $18,200,000 from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund to the California Gambling Control Commission to provide grants to local agencies.   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 ratifies a number of tribal-state gaming compacts between the State of California and specified Indian tribes. Existing law creates in the State Treasury the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund and the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund for the receipt and deposit of moneys received by the state from Indian tribes pursuant to the terms of gaming compacts entered into with the state, and authorizes moneys in those funds to be used for certain purposes. Existing law, until January 1, 2021, establishes the method of calculating the distribution of appropriations from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund for grants to local government agencies impacted by tribal gaming.   This bill would reorganize and make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.  Vote: majority. Appropriation:  no   yes  . Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
