LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 3169, as amended, Gipson. Gambling Control Act: licenses.The Gambling Control Act provides for the licensure and regulation of various legalized gambling activities and establishments by the California Gambling Control Commission and the investigation and enforcement of those activities and establishments by the Department of Justice. Existing law requires a person who deals, operates, carries on, conducts, maintains, or exposes for play any controlled game in this state, or who receives any compensation or reward, or any percentage or share of the money or property played, for keeping, running, or carrying on any controlled game in this state, to apply for and obtain a valid state gambling license, key employee license, or work permit. Existing law provides that an owner of a gambling enterprise is known as the owner-licensee. Under existing law, other persons who also obtain a state gambling license do not receive a separate license certificate, but instead the license of those persons are endorsed on the license certificate that is issued to the owner-licensee. Under existing law, a key employee license entitles the holder to work as a key employee in any key employee position at any gambling establishment, provided that the key employee terminates employment with one gambling establishment before commencing work for another. Existing law also authorizes a key employee with a valid personal portable license to work as a key employee in any key employee position in more than one gambling establishment and requires the commission to establish a program for portable personal licenses for key employees. This bill would repeal those provisions relating to key employees working at different gambling establishments and would instead prohibit a person or entity that is issued a state gambling license from being required to apply for an additional license to hold that same position with another gambling enterprise. The bill would allow the person or entity to submit their state gambling license number to the commission to be endorsed on the license certificate of another gambling enterprise for that same position.Existing law requires a state gambling license to be renewed biennially. Under this bill, a state gambling license would initially be valid for a period of 2 years, and upon each renewal, the license would be valid for a period of 5 3 years. The bill would create a presumption that a licensee is suitable for license renewal upon the licensees submission, and the commissions review, of all required updated information and documentation, and would require an application for a license renewal to be approved by the commission unless there is evidence of a violation of the act or any regulations adopted pursuant to the act that would warrant an investigation of the applicant by the department.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
