INTRODUCED BY  Senator Dills

                        FEBRUARY 23, 1993

   An act to repeal and add Section 8880.28 of the Government
Code, relating to the state lottery.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 386, as amended, Dills.  State lottery: limitation on
games.
   (1) The California State Lottery Act of 1984 requires the
Lottery Commission to promulgate rules and regulations
specifying the types of lottery games to be conducted by the
Lottery provided that, among other things, no lottery game may
use the theme of bingo, roulette, dice, baccarat, blackjack,
Lucky 7's, draw poker, slot machines, dog racing, or {- horse
racing -} {+ horseracing +} , and providing that in games
utilizing computer terminals or other devices, no coins or
currency shall be dispensed to players from these computer
terminals or devices.
   This bill would revise the above provision to repeal the
requirement that the commission promulgate rules and regulations
relating to the types of lottery games that may be conducted by
the Lottery and, instead, would expressly prohibit any lottery
game from using any theme based on, or similar to {- those
themes listed above in addition to keno -} {+ bingo, slot
machines, dog racing, or horseracing or to casino games such as
roulette, poker, dice, baccarat, blackjack, or Lucky 7's +} .
The bill would also expressly prohibit any lottery game {+ ,
except keno, as specified, +} from being played upon any
computer terminal, video terminal, or any other similar device,
and would prohibit other activities relating to the use of these
terminals and devices, as specified.
   (2) As an initiative measure, the act provides that none of
its provisions may be changed except to further its purpose by a
bill passed by a 2/3 vote of each house of the Legislature and
signed by the Governor.
   This bill, which would declare that it furthers the purposes
of the act, would therefore require a 2/3 vote.
   Vote:  2/3.  Appropriation:  no.  Fiscal committee:  yes.
State-mandated local program:  no.
