Proposed Changes to DOI’s Tribal Land Into Trust and Gaming Compact Process Create More Opportunities for Off-Reservation Gaming
Recent proposed regulations seek to streamline and reduce costs for tribal land into trust applications and clarify parameters for negotiation and approval of tribal-state gaming compacts.
The administrative process by which tribal nations obtain trust status for land to conduct off-reservation gaming or other activities has been criticized by some as cumbersome, lengthy, and overly burdensome. The process of negotiating and approving compacts that tribes must enter into with states to conduct gaming activity has also received its share of criticism. With recent proposed regulatory amendments to 25 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 151 and 293, the Biden Administration seeks to make both of these processes more favorable to tribes and to economic development through gaming.
