Gambling Control Act.

The California Senate Committee on Governmental Organization, led by Senator Padilla and fourteen committee members, proposes expanding public access to California Gambling Control Commission voting records by requiring online posting within two business days of each meeting.

Under current law, the commission maintains voting records only at its principal office in Sacramento. The proposed change would mandate that these records also appear on the commission's website no later than the second business day following any meeting where votes occur. The bill retains existing requirements for maintaining physical records and preserves commission procedures regarding quorum requirements and voting thresholds for official actions.

The measure adds this online posting requirement without changing other aspects of commission operations or creating new appropriations. All other provisions of the Gambling Control Act remain unchanged, including exemptions for certain documents used in evaluating applicant qualifications and the commission's ability to hold meetings throughout the state when public interests warrant.
