Gaming Compact Approved by Law
The 2025 Amendment to the Lac du Flambeau Band and State of Wisconsin Class III gaming compact is considered approved and took effect on March 10, 2026 because the Secretary of the Interior did not act within the 45-day review period under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).
