Short Summary
This section of the California Business and Professions Code, known as the Gambling Control Act, pertains to the licensing of gambling establishments and expansions. The California Gambling Control Commission has the authority to deny a gambling license for various reasons. These reasons include the potential for creating law enforcement problems in a different jurisdiction, failure to conduct an economic feasibility study demonstrating the viability of the proposed establishment, and seeking a license for a new establishment or expansion near unsuitable areas such as schools, places of worship, playgrounds, hospitals, or other areas specified by the commission. The section defines ’expansion’ as an increase of 25 percent or more in the number of authorized gambling tables. The amendment made in 2021 clarifies the definition of expansion. However, specific penalties for non-compliance or violation of the licensing requirements are not mentioned in this section.
