SB51 changes are minimal:
License fee $15M instead of $30M.
Addition for bad actors: settlement of a case without admission of guilt is not evidence of no unlawful activity.
Tribes can issue their own employee work permits for ipoker.
New amendments for SB678 aren't recorded yet, so I haven't seen them.

What's SB 1436?
