	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1738, Coto. Tribal gaming: memoranda of agreement.
   Existing federal law, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, 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 expressly ratifies a number of tribal-state
gaming compacts, and amendments of tribal-state gaming compacts,
between the State of California and specified Indian tribes.
   This bill would approve memoranda of agreement entered into
between the State of California and the Agua Caliente Band of
Cahuilla Indians, the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, the Pechanga
Band of Luiseoo Indians, and the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation,
executed on June 27, 2007.
