Bill > AB817

This bill amends the Gambling Control Act to make several technical changes to the regulations governing the California Gambling Control Commission and gambling license requirements. Specifically, the bill modifies provisions related to commission membership and licensing procedures. It requires the Governor to notify the Legislature when removing a commission member, and standardizes language around licensing requirements for corporate gambling license holders. The bill updates terminology from gendered language (such as "he or she") to gender-neutral terms like "they" and makes minor technical adjustments to the existing law. For corporate gambling license applicants, the bill maintains existing requirements that officers, directors, shareholders, and key employees must individually apply for licenses within 30 calendar days of taking their position, and corporations must immediately remove or suspend individuals who fail to obtain or maintain their required licenses. These changes aim to provide clarity and consistency in the language of the Gambling Control Act while maintaining the existing regulatory framework for gambling licensing in California.
