Opinion
NICHOLSON, J.
This case presents two principal issues: (1) Did a fee imposed by the County of Sacramento (the County) upon a nonprofit organization based on a percentage of the gross receipts of bingo games violate California’s Constitution? (2) Does Penal Code section 326.5 prohibit a nonprofit organization from using bingo proceeds to pay attorney fees associated with the bingo operation?

Article XIII, section 26, subdivision (d) of the California Constitution…
