AMENDING THE INDIAN GAMING REGULATORY ACT, AND
FOR OTHER PURPOSES
OCTOBER 11 (legislative day, SEPTEMBER 22), 2000.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. CAMPBELL, from the Committee on Indian Affairs,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 2920]
The Committee on Indian Affairs, to which was referred the bill
(S. 2920) to amend the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, and for
other purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably
thereon with an amendment in the nature of a substitute, and rec-
ommends that the bill (as amended) do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 2920 is twofold: to assure that the primary
purposes of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act are fulfilled in the
operation of tribal gaming and to ensure that the Indian tribal
gaming industry is properly regulated by providing guidance to the
National Indian Gaming Commission on issues related to regula-
tion.
BACKGROUND
The existing Federal law regarding Indian tribal gaming was en-
acted into law more than ten years ago. The Indian Gaming Regu-
latory Act of 1988 (IGRA), P.L. 100-497, 25 U.S.C. § 2501 et seq.,
established a comprehensive framework for the operation of Indian
tribal gaming across the United States. This framework attempts
to bring some order to the complex relationship between the Fed-
eral government, Indian tribes and the states in relation to gaming
by establishing three different categories of gaming and a regu-
latory system which applies to each. IGRA also established a Fed-
eral regulatory commission, the National Indian Gaming Commis-
sion or NIGC, to provide Federal oversight over tribal gaming.
