Bill > SB2376

This bill amends North Dakota Century Code to expand the tribal-state gaming compact by allowing gaming on specific parcels of land within Grand Forks County for the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa. The bill adds detailed legal descriptions of three land parcels totaling approximately 151.5 acres where gaming would be permitted, with specific exclusions for certain portions of those parcels. The amendment requires approval from the Secretary of the Interior under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, which is a federal law governing gaming on Native American lands. This expansion builds upon an existing gaming compact that previously only allowed gaming in Rolette County, providing the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa with additional potential locations for gaming operations. The precise land descriptions are highly technical, involving specific measurements and geographic references to help precisely define the authorized gaming locations.
