This initiative measure amends a section of the California Constitution and adds sections to the Business and Professions Code and Government Code.Therefore,existing provisions proposed to be deleted are printed in strikeeut-type and new provisions proposed to be added are printed in italic type to indicate that they are new. SECTION 1. Title This measure shall be known as the"California Sports Wagering Regulation and Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act" SEC. 2 Findings and Declarations (a)In May 2018,the United States Supreme Court eliminated the federal prohibition on sports wagering. As a result,states now have the freedom to authorize sports wagering within their borders and establish regulations, consumer protections, responsible gambling measures and taxes on sports.wagering.Already 20 states have chosen to regulate and tax sports wagering in a manner that provides for consumer protections,responsible gambling,and gives adults the choice to participate in this activity. (b)Unregulated and untaxed sports wagering is happening throughout California without any consumer or responsible gambling protections.Leading economists and industry experts estimate that during the federal prohibition on sports wagering,a thriving black market flourished with billions of dollars wagered annually across the United States.The illegal sports wagering market in California continues to thrive and will continue to be an attractive option due to its untaxed, unregulated,and unlicensed nature. (c)Unregulated gambling enterprises are a threat to public safety and public health as they are often conducted by criminal elements.Accordingly,no person in this state has a right to operate a gambling enterprise except as may be expressly permitted by federal,state,or local law. (d)Leading economists and industry experts estimate a legal and regulated sports wagering market in California could generate hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity in the initial years,which would result in tens of millions of dollars in annual tax revenue for the State of California. (e)Sports wagering should be regulated and taxed in California to stamp out the black market of illegal gambling operations to allow adults the choice to participate in this activity with strong consumer protections. 1 (f)Taxing sports wagering would create new revenue to increase funding for programs related to preventing problems associated with problem gambling and mental health, and help finance the state's general fund priorities related to education and public safety. (g)Californians 21 years of age or older should have the choice to participate in legal sports wagering in highly regulated and safe facilities that are experienced in gaming operations and are in good standing with the appropriate federal, state,and local regulatory agencies. (h)In keeping with our California values of protecting our children and young people, sports wagering must be tightly regulated. It must be limited to only adults 21 years old or older. Existing law recognizes that gambling can become addictive and is not an activity to be promoted or legitimized as entertainment for children and families.Accordingly,there shall be no advertising or marketing of sports wagering directed to children. (i)In order to protect our students and our colleges and universities, sports wagering on high school sports and on California-based college teams must also be strictly prohibited. (j)To prevent the exploitation of animals,sports wagering will not be allowed on any currently prohibited form of animal contests,such as greyhound or other dog races. (k)Public confidence that legal gambling, including sports wagering,will not endanger public health,safety,or welfare requires that comprehensive measures be enacted and enforced to ensure that gambling is free from criminal and corruptive elements,that it is conducted honestly and competitively, and that it is conducted only at suitable locations. The California gaming industry must be held accountable to ensure they are complying with anti-money.laundering laws and other applicable laws and regulations. (1)Current enforcement of gambling laws are inadequate. California needs more ways to enforce our state's gambling laws to protect children and vulnerable adults from unscrupulous organizations that run illegal gambling operations. Californians should be able to report and enforce violations of California laws against illegal gambling activities. (m)A well supervised sports wagering system will limit sports wagering to highly regulated and safe facilities that are experienced in gambling operations and with the financial resources to responsibly operate the activity.The best entities to safely operate sports wagering are Indian gaming casinos and Approved Racetrack Operators. • (n) Since 2000, California tribal governments have operated Indian gaming casinos on their own tribal lands,generating much-needed resources to help reverse the brutal history endured by California Native Americans.These resources have allowed California tribes to provide services including healthcare, schools,scholarships,cultural resource protection,fire services, law enforcement services,water systems,environmental protection, and more. Importantly, in the last 20 years,California tribes have shared more than$1 billion in revenues with non-gaming tribes to help strengthen tribal communities. 2 (o) In 2016,Indian gaming in California directly and indirectly generated the following total economic and fiscal impacts on the California economy: 124,300 jobs; $20 billion in output;$9 billion in wages to employees;$3.4 billion in taxes and revenue sharing payments to federal, state,and local governments,including nearly$1 billion to the State of California and$378 million to local governments. (p)Horse racing represents one of the oldest forms of wagering, existing in California for almost a century. Over 17,000 licensed jobs are tied to the horse racing industry. According to the California Horse Racing Board,over$3 billion is wagered each year.This brings in millions of dollars in revenue to the state,to the world's premier equine chemistry laboratory,the Kenneth L.Maddy Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory at the University of California, Davis,and to local governments from sales taxes. (q)The California Sports Wagering Regulation and Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act ensures that sports wagering is regulated and taxed,so adults who choose to participate in this activity can do so legally,while raising revenue for education,public safety and mental health, ensuring strong consumer protections especially for children and strengthening enforcement of gambling laws. SEC. 3. Purposes and intent The purpose of the California Sports Wagering Regulation and Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act is to regulate and tax sports wagering in California and strengthen California's gambling regulations and safeguards,by: (a)Regulating and taxing sports wagering,to take sports wagering out of the black market and create a regulatory structure that prevents access by minors and protects public safety by allowing sports wagering at highly regulated and safe facilities that are experienced in gaming operations. (b) Permitting tribal governments to offer sports wagering,roulette, and games played with dice, after negotiations pursuant to state and federal law,as tribal governments have an expertise in gaming operations and possess the financial resources to responsibly operate sports wagering. (c)Permitting Approved Racetrack Operators to offer sports wagering as these operators are also highly regulated and are experienced in gaming operations. (d)Ensuring that these facilities and operators are in good standing with the appropriate federal, state,and local regulatory agencies. (e) Creating strict consumer protections to promote responsible sports wagering and protect children and public health,such as: 3 (1)Requiring adults 21 or older to be physically present in a facility to place sports wagers. (2)Only permitting sports wagering by those 21 or older to safeguard against underage gambling. (3)Prohibiting the marketing and advertising of sports wagering to persons younger than 21 years old. (4)Permitting sports wagering only on professional,college, or amateur sport or athletic events. (5)Prohibiting wagering on any high school sports or athletic events to protect our students. (6)Prohibiting wagering on any sports or athletic events in which any California college team participates,to protect our students and our colleges and universities,while permitting sports wagering on popular events such as the NCAA basketball tournament. (7)Prohibiting wagering on any currently illegal sporting event or contest, including but not limited to,animal races, such as greyhound or other dog races,to prevent the exploitation of animals. (8) Allowing the Legislature to provide for anti-corruption measures to ensure the integrity of sporting events. (f) Imposing a 10 percent tax on sports wagering activity conducted by Approved Racetrack Operators to fund programs related to problem gambling prevention and mental health and the implementation and oversight of sports wagering and other forms of gaming,and help finance the state's general fund priorities related to education and public safety. (g)Auditing expenditures of sports wagering revenue to ensure this revenue is spent properly and effectively. (h)Protecting public safety by strengthening the enforcement of California's current gambling laws to allow Californians to hold illegal gambling activities and operations accountable. (i)Increasing enforcement of existing gambling rules to ensure that all establishments that offer gambling opportunities play by the rules and follow the law. These increased enforcement measures will ensure that all lawful gambling is free from criminal and corruptive elements and that it is conducted honestly and competitively by suitable operators and hold gambling enterprises accountable without burdening local law enforcement. 4 (j)Ensuring that establishments that offer legal sports wagering play by the rules by making them subject to appropriate audit standards.
