Tribal gaming.

Existing federal law, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, provides for the negotiation and execution of tribal-state gaming compacts for the purpose of authorizing certain types of gaming on Indian lands within a state. The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to negotiate and conclude compacts, subject to ratification by the Legislature. Existing law establishes the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund within the State Treasury for the receipt and deposit of moneys received by the state from an Indian tribe pursuant to the terms of a tribal-state gaming compact for the purpose of making distributions to an eligible recipient Indian tribe. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that latter provision governing the fund.
