The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was established following a 1987 Supreme Court decision, creating a regulatory structure for gaming on Tribal lands and supporting Tribal economic development. Over 200 Indian Tribes currently operate under IGRA's framework. However, a 2022 Supreme Court ruling created a unique situation for the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama-Coushatta Tribe, resulting in overlapping regulatory language for their gaming activities under both IGRA and their specific Restoration Act. This legislation, known as the Tribal Gaming Regulatory Compliance Act , addresses this inconsistency by amending the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama and Coushatta Indian Tribes of Texas Restoration Act . The amendment ensures the full applicability of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act to gaming activities on the lands of these two tribes. This action eliminates redundant regulatory language, ensuring these tribes are regulated in the same manner as all other gaming tribes in the United States.
