LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1464, as introduced, Gray. California State Lottery: audits.

The California State Lottery Act of 1984 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. Existing law requires the Controller to conduct quarterly and annual postaudits of all accounts and transactions of the commission and other special postaudits as the Controller deems necessary. Existing law authorizes the Controller to issue a public report of any annual postaudit and post it on the internet.

This bill would additionally require the Controller, every 3 years, to conduct an audit of the commission’s administrative operating expenses for the prior fiscal year and would require the Controller to post that audit and any other annual postaudit on the internet.
