Bill > SB920

This bill, concerning regulatory fees for gambling establishments in California, requires the California Gambling Control Commission (the commission) or the Department of Justice (the department) to create and maintain a regulation that clearly outlines the specific purpose and intended use of any new or adjusted fee collected for the Gambling Control Fund, detailing the program activities and cost categories that the fee will cover. Importantly, any such fee or adjustment will not become effective until this regulation is officially adopted or amended, and the revenue generated from these fees can only be spent on the activities and purposes specified in that regulation, with exceptions for certain existing fees or those specifically authorized by statute and identified in regulation. The bill also mandates that the commission and department post the fee's purpose and use statement, along with a summary of its cost basis, on their public websites, and it clarifies that these new requirements do not apply to fees that were already established or modified before this bill becomes law.
