Summary

The California Constitution prohibits various gaming activities within the state, including casino-style gaming, but authorizes the Legislature to provide for the regulation of horse racing, charitable bingo games, the California State Lottery, and charitable raffles. Existing federal law, referred to as the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) , prohibits a governmental entity or a person from conducting a lottery, sweepstakes, or other betting, gambling, or wagering scheme based, directly or indirectly, on competitive games or performances in which amateur or professional athletes participate. This measure would authorize the Legislature to permit sports wagering only if a change in federal law occurs to authorize sports wagering in this state.
