Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to amendments to a tribal-state compact with the Seneca Nation of Indians

AI Summary

This bill amends the Executive Law to authorize the Governor to amend and continue the tribal-state compact with the Seneca Nation of Indians. The bill grants the Seneca Nation the exclusive right to conduct gaming within a specific geographic area. The amendment to the compact must be consistent with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and provide certain assurances, such as allowing employees to participate in labor unions and maintaining an adequate civil recovery system and liability insurance. If the Governor fails to negotiate in good faith, the state waives its sovereign immunity, allowing the Seneca Nation to take legal action against the Governor.
