Section 2
2. Findings Congress finds that— in 1987, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, 480 U.S. 202 (1987), that, if California regulated rather than prohibited gaming in the State, an Indian Tribe could offer similar forms of gaming on Tribal land; in response to California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, 480 U.S. 202 (1987), Congress enacted the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.), which has since supported and promoted Tribal economic development, and self-sufficiency and provides a regulatory structure for gaming on Tribal land; as of 2023, more than 200 Indian Tribes in 28 States are regulated under that Act; on June 15, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama and Coushatta Indian Tribes of Texas Restoration Act (Public Law 100–89; 101 Stat. 666) allows the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe to offer gaming activities on Tribal land that are not fully prohibited by Texas law and without regard to any State regulations over the gaming activities; and as of 2023, the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama-Coushatta Tribes are the only Indian Tribes in the United States that are eligible to game on Tribal land but not regulated under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.).
