And the Indians win! by Milan Sundaresan, Jul 31, 2008 (7:27pm)
Facing tremendous opposition from several Indian tribes, H.R. 4893 sought to authorize the National Indian Gaming Commission to regulate Class III gaming and to limit lands eligible for gaming, amongst other provisions. The bill would have prevented tribes from crossing state lines and would not allow tribes that already had lands eligible for gaming from obtaining more land not contiguous to their reservations for casinos. The bill also required tribes to first receive the approval of their local community. Since the bill failed, the law stands as it was before- tribes must negotiate gaming compacts with states but do not need counties’ permission. Ultimately the stringent regulations were not put in place allowing the tribes to celebrate a clear victory.
