No. 3028

An act relating to tribal gaming.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 3028, as introduced, Ramos.
Tribal gaming: compact ratification.
The existing federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 provides for the negotiation and execution of tribal-state gaming compacts for the purpose of authorizing certain types of gaming on Indian lands within a state. The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to negotiate and conclude tribal-state gaming compacts, subject to ratification by the Legislature. Existing law expressly ratifies a number of tribal-state gaming compacts, and amendments of tribal-state gaming compacts, between the State of California and specified Indian tribes.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature, upon the Governor’s signing of a tribal-state gaming compact between the State of California and the Tule River Tribe, to ratify that compact.
