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.
