Gambling: Gambling Control Act.
Summary
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 authorizes the commission, for any cause deemed reasonable by the commission, to deny an application for a license, permit, or approval, to limit, condition, or restrict an license, permit, or approval, or to impose an fine upon any person licensed or approved. For purposes of the act, existing law defines "applicant" as any person who has applied for, or is about to apply for, a state gambling license, or other licenses, permits, or approvals, as specified. This bill would revise the definition of "applicant" to no longer include a person who is about to apply for a state gambling license, or other licenses, permits, or approvals, as specified.
