Local gambling control.
Summary
Under existing law, a city, county, or city and county may authorize controlled gambling, consistent with state law, if a majority of voters affirmatively approve an ordinance so permitting, as specified. Existing law authorizes a city, county, or city and county to amend the ordinance to increase by 2 the number of gambling tables that may be operated in a gambling establishment in a city, county, or city and county, above the number of tables authorized in the ordinance in effect on January 1, 2010. The authority to amend a gaming ordinance may occur only one time. Any amendment to a city or county ordinance relating to gambling establishments or the Gambling Control Act is required to be submitted to the Department of Justice for review and comment before the ordinance is adopted by the city or county. This bill, additionally, would provide that an amendment of an ordinance increasing by 2 the number of gambling tables that may be operated in a gambling establishment in a city, county, or city and county, above the number of tables authorized by the ordinance in effect on January 1, 2013, may occur only one time.
