Tribal Gaming Regulatory Compliance Act
To ensure all federally recognized Tribes that are eligible for gaming in the United States are regulated under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill ensures that the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas are regulated under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), which governs gaming on tribal lands for over 200 tribes in 28 states. As a result of a 2022 Supreme Court decision, these two tribes had overlapping regulatory language from both IGRA and a separate 1989 law. The bill eliminates this redundant language by establishing that IGRA applies fully to gaming activities on their tribal lands. The bill removes conflicting provisions from the earlier Texas Restoration Act to ensure these tribes operate under the same unified regulatory structure as all other gaming tribes in the United States.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
June 4, 2025
Mr. Luttrell (for himself, Ms. Escobar, and Mr. Babin) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources
A BILL
To ensure all federally recognized Tribes that are eligible for gaming in the United States are regulated under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the “Tribal Gaming Regulatory Compliance Act”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) In 1987, the Supreme Court ruled in California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians that if California regulated, rather than prohibited, gaming in the State, then an Indian Tribe could offer similar forms of gaming on its land.
(2) In response to the Cabazon decision, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (Public Law 100-497) was enacted, which has since supported and promoted Tribal economic development and self-sufficiency and continues to provide a regulatory structure for gaming on Tribal lands.
(3) Over 200 Indian Tribes in 28 States are currently regulated under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
(4) On June 15, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama-Coushatta Indian Tribes of Texas Restoration Act (Public Law 100-89; 101 Stat. 666) allows the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe to offer, on Tribal lands, gaming activities that are not fully prohibited by Texas law and without regard to any Texas regulations over such gaming activities.
(5) As a result of the Supreme Court decision, the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe are the only two Indian Tribes in the United States that have overlapping regulatory language governing their gaming activities (Public Law 497 and Public Law 100-89; 101 Stat. 666).
(6) This Act will eliminate any redundant regulatory language and ensure the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama- Coushatta Tribe are regulated in the same form and manner as all other gaming by Indian Tribes in the United States.
SEC. 3. AMENDMENT.
The Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama and Coushatta Indian Tribes of Texas Restoration Act (Public Law 100-89; 101 Stat. 666 et seq.) is amended—
(1) by inserting after section 2, the following:
“SEC. 3 RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.
“This Act shall be construed to ensure the full applicability of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.) to gaming activities on Indian lands of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Indian lands of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe.”;
(2) by striking section 107; and
(3) by striking section 207. <all>
