Federal gaming rules for two Texas tribes
This bill would make federal tribal gaming law fully apply on the lands of Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe. Their gaming would follow the same federal rules used by other tribes. It would also remove older Texas rules that conflict with these federal rules. If enacted, this could add oversight and compliance steps for tribal gaming operators. The bill does not set a start date and does not provide funding.
