5. Overview of the five sections which comprise AB 687.
AB 687, which ratified amendments of tribal-state compacts entered into by the state of California and the five tribes, consists of five sections.
Section 1 of the bill sets forth the Legislature's findings and statement of purpose and declares, inter alia: â€
Description
Statute purporting to grant California Supreme Court jurisdiction over appeals from judgments in superior court actions challenging Indian gaming compacts violated constitutional provision granting court of appeal jurisdiction over appeals from superior courts other than as specified in the constitution. Action challenging constitutionality of statute approving gaming compacts, which provided that tribes would pay certain revenues to a state entity to be used to securitize transportation bonds, was effectively a reverse validation action subject to 60-day statute of limitations and to 30-day limit on time to appeal.
