The Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama-Coushatta  Indian tribes of Texas Restoration Act
(Restoration Act) prohibits those two tribes from conducting gaming activities on their
reservations-such  as slot-machine gambling-if  those activities are prohibited by the laws
of Texas. That act could be in conflict with another federal law, the Indian Gaming
Regulatory Act (IGRA),  which generally provides that Indian tribes have the exclusive right
to regulate gaming on their reservations so long as certain conditions are met. In March
2019, the Fifth Circuit Court of appeals upheld a federal district court ruling that the
Restoration Act, not the IGRA, applies in determining whether the tribes may offer certain
gaming  activities in Texas.

H.R. 759 would  amend  the Restoration Act to clarify that the act shall not be construed to
preclude or limit the applicability of the IGRA. The bill would effectively make the IGRA
the controlling federal statue concerning gaming matters with regard to the Ysleta del Sur
Pueblo and the Alabama-Coushatta  tribes in Texas. If the legislation is enacted, it could
result in an expansion of gaming on those tribal reservations in Texas, depending on the
outcome  of negotiations between the tribes and state.
