Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review
Author
(1) Existing federal law, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, provides for the negotiation and execution of tribal-state gaming compacts for the purpose of authorizing certain types of gaming on Indian lands within a state. The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to negotiate and conclude compacts, subject to ratification by the Legislature. Existing law ratifies a number of tribal-state gaming compacts between the State of California and specified Indian tribes. Existing law authorizes the Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank, upon a filing by the Director of Finance with the bank of a list of specified amended tribal compacts and compact assets, to sell for, and on behalf of, the state all or any portion of those compact assets to a special purpose trust. Existing law authorizes the special purpose trust to issue bonds secured by those compact assets. Existing law provides that the portion of those compact assets that are timely deposited or are due for deposit in a specified fund between July 1, 2008, and June 30, 2010, shall not be available for the purpose described above. Existing law requires the Director of Finance to determine the portion of those compact assets attributable to each fiscal year, and authorizes the Director of Finance to direct the Controller, by separate order applicable to the assets for each fiscal year, to transfer the compact assets attributable to that fiscal year to the General Fund. This bill would extend the period during which deposits of compact assets are not available for the purpose described above from June 30, 2010, to June 30, 2011. (2) The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for that purpose. The Governor issued a proclamation declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on January 8, 2010. This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared by the Governor by proclamation issued on January 8, 2010, pursuant to the California Constitution.
