BILL NUMBER: AB 270AMENDED 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.
