Bill > AB1393

This bill modifies the Gambling Control Act by making several technical changes to the composition and eligibility requirements for the California Gambling Control Commission. Specifically, the bill expands the language describing the qualifications for one commission member, requiring that the attorney member have experience in either "regulatory" or "gaming" law (previously only regulatory law was specified). The bill also makes some minor grammatical adjustments to the existing legal text, such as changing "shall be" to "is" in the act's title and adjusting the phrasing around eligibility restrictions for commission members. The bill maintains the existing requirements that commission members must be U.S. citizens and California residents, that no more than three members can be from the same political party, and that members cannot have recent substantial connections to gambling establishments. The overall intent appears to be a technical update to provide more flexibility in the professional background of commission members while maintaining the core structure and purpose of the Gambling Control Commission.
