What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Tribal Gaming Regulatory Compliance Act," aims to regulate all eligible federally recognized Tribes under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Currently, the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe are the only two Tribes with overlapping regulatory language for their gaming activities. This legislation seeks to eliminate that redundancy. It does so by amending the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama-Coushatta Indian Tribes of Texas Restoration Act. The goal is to ensure these specific Tribes are regulated in the same manner as all other Indian Tribes in the United States.
