LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1212, Nunez. Tribal gaming: letter of agreement.
Existing federal law, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, 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 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 approve a letter of agreement entered into between the State of California and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, executed on September 5, 2007.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

12012.475.
 The letter of agreement entered into between the State of California and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, executed on September 5, 2007, is hereby approved.
