# California AB 363 (20112012) — California State Lottery.

The California State Lottery Act of 1984, enacted by initiative, authorizes a California State Lottery and provides for its operation and administration by the California State Lottery Commission and the Director of the California State Lottery, with certain limitations. Existing law requires the commission to establish the percentage of total annual revenues of the state lottery to be allocated to the benefit of public education at a level that maximizes the total net revenues allocated for the benefit of public education. Existing law requires the Controller, by September 1 of each fiscal year for 5 years following the enactment of this provision, to report to the Legislature whether specified events relating to the total net revenues allocated to the benefit of public education have occurred and, if so, to notify the Legislature and the Governor. Existing law further requires the Controller to convene a lottery review group to report to the Legislature, no later than December 31 following the final fiscal year of that 5-year period, on whether certain provisions have furthered the purposes of the California State Lottery Act of 1984. Under existing law, those provisions shall remain in effect only until December 31 of the year of notification from the Controller to the Legislature and the Governor that those specified events relating to the total net revenues allocated to the benefit of public education have occurred, and the prior law will be restored at that time.
