## Resource

A San Francisco judge just blocked sweeping new state rules that would’ve crippled California’s cardrooms, ruling the Bureau of Gambling Control lacked authority to impose such changes statewide. The proposed regulations threatened to slash revenues in half, risking closures, layoffs, and devastating local economies reliant on gaming tax revenue. The court sided with cardrooms and their advocates, affirming regulators must enforce existing laws—not create new ones. The decision underscores that major gaming policy shifts must come through the legislature, not hidden regulatory decrees, and signals a win for communities and workers caught in the crosshairs of unchecked regulatory power.
