(a) Following the end of each full fiscal year, the commission shall calculate and report to the Controller and to the Legislature the amount of total net revenues allocated to the benefit of public education from the California State Lottery Education Fund for that fiscal year.

(b) To ensure increases in lottery net revenues allocated to public education, if in any one of the first five full fiscal years after the enactment of the act adding this section, the Controller determines that both of the events described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (c) occur, then the Controller shall notify the Legislature and the Governor, and post that notification on the Controller’s Internet Web site, and on January 1 of the following year, both of the following shall occur:

(1) The amendments made to Sections 8880.4, 8880.63, and 8880.64 by the act adding this section shall become inoperative.

(2) Sections 8880.4, 8880.63, and 8880.64, as they existed prior to the effective date of the act adding this section shall become operative.

(c) No later than December 31 following each of the first five fiscal years in which the amendments made by the act adding this section are in effect, the Controller shall report to the Legislature whether either of the following occurred in the prior fiscal year:

(1) The total net revenues allocated to the benefit of public education from the California State Lottery Education Fund are less than the total net revenues allocated to the benefit of public education in the last full fiscal year prior to the enactment of the act adding this section.

(2) The annual average of total net revenues allocated to the benefit of public education from the California State Lottery Education Fund after the enactment of the act adding this section is less than the total net revenues allocated to the benefit of public education in the last full fiscal year prior to the enactment of the act adding this section, adjusted for an annual growth rate of 1.8 percent or the actual growth rate of lottery revenues since enactment of the act adding this section, whichever is greater.

(d) If the conditions specified in subdivision (c) do not occur, then in subsequent fiscal years, to ensure continued growth in lottery net revenues allocated to public education, the commission, when setting the percentage required in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 8880.4, shall ensure that net revenues allocated to public schools are at least as much as were allocated on average in the prior five fiscal years, and increased in proportion to any upward increases in lottery net revenues.

(e) At the end of the first five full fiscal years following enactment of the act adding this section, the Controller shall convene a lottery review group to consist of the Controller, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the chairperson of the commission. The review group shall report to the Legislature, no later than March 31 following the final fiscal year, on whether the amendments made by the act adding this section have furthered the purposes of the California State Lottery Act of 1984 as intended.

(f) This section shall become inoperative on April 1 of the year following notification from the Controller to the Legislature and the Governor that the events described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (c) have occurred, and as of the following January 1 is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1 of that following year, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.

(Amended by Stats. 2011, Ch. 56, Sec. 3. (AB 363) Effective January 1, 2012. Conditionally inoperative, on date prescribed in subd. (f). Repealed, by its own provisions, on January 1 following inoperative date.)
