CA AB120

Allows the California Gambling Control Commission to approve or deny gambling license applications at a commission meeting without requiring a hearing, making hearings optional rather than mandatory.

Requires a hearing only if an applicant requests one after denial, or if the application is approved with limits, restrictions, or conditions.

Changes the deadline for requesting application withdrawal from "prior to final action by the Department of Justice" to "prior to final action by the commission."

Provides a 30-day period after commission action during which applicants may request an evidentiary hearing before the action becomes final.

Maintains detailed procedural requirements for evidentiary hearings when requested, including witness examination rights, oath requirements, and recording of proceedings.
