Tribal 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. Existing law, until January 1, 2021, creates a County Tribal Casino Account in the treasury of each county that contains a tribal casino, which is funded according to specified formulas, and further divided into a separate account, known as an Individual Tribal Casino Account, for each tribe that operates a casino within the county. Existing law establishes an Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee in each county in which gaming is conducted and requires that committee to make the selection of grants from the casino accounts. Existing law requires funds not allocated from a County Tribal Casino Account or an Individual Tribal Casino Account for the grants by the end of each fiscal year to revert back to the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund. This bill would delete obsolete provisions relating to allocations made in specified fiscal years, and would make additional technical, nonsubstantive changes.
