This bill provides for amendments to the tribal-state compact with the Seneca Nation of Indians. The key provisions include: 1) authorizing the governor to amend and continue the existing compact, which must be consistent with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act; 2) requiring the compact to provide assurances that the Seneca Nation will grant reasonable access to labor union organizers, allow distribution of union authorization cards, and recognize labor unions as the exclusive bargaining representatives based on a majority employee vote; and 3) requiring the Seneca Nation to maintain an adequate civil recovery system and sufficient liability insurance to compensate visitors and guests. The bill aims to ensure that gaming activities are conducted in a manner that protects the environment, public health and safety, and the economic and personal well-being of workers.
