Tribal Gaming Regulatory Compliance Act

This bill would make sure that all tribal gaming follows the same federal rules. It focuses on two Texas Tribes—the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama‑Coushatta—who currently face overlapping rules because of a past court decision and their older Restoration Act. The bill would remove the extra, conflicting language and clearly place their gaming under the same federal law that guides other Tribes, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).

Key points:

• Who is affected: The Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama‑Coushatta Tribe in Texas.
• What changes: IGRA would fully apply on their lands; sections 107 and 207 of their Restoration Act would be removed to eliminate overlap and confusion.
• Why: To align these Tribes with the same federal rules as more than 200 other Tribes and fix conflicting rules highlighted by a 2022 Supreme Court ruling.
• When: The bill sets these changes by amending the Restoration Act; no specific start date is stated in the text.
