Recommendation for Legislative Action

To determine the amount for the nontribal activities that the Bureau paid for using the distribution fund during fiscal years 2015-16 through 2019-20, the Legislature should require the Department of Justice's Bureau of Gambling Control to calculate and report that information to the Legislature by April 2023. To compensate the distribution fund for these improper expenditures, the Legislature should then create a special appropriation to reimburse the distribution fund.
