Civil penalty raised to $65,655
Starting January 15, 2025, the National Indian Gaming Commission raised the maximum civil fine per violation from $63,992 to $65,655. The Commission applied the OMB cost-of-living multiplier of 1.02598 (based on the October 2024 CPI) to calculate $63,992 × 1.02598 = $65,654.51, rounded to $65,655.
New amount applies to fines assessed after Jan 15, 2025
The new $65,655 penalty applies to civil fines that are assessed after January 15, 2025, even when the underlying violation occurred before that date. That means a violation that happened earlier can be subject to the higher per-violation amount if the penalty is assessed after January 15, 2025.
