Cardroom dispute between California State Legislature and Native American Tribe
Lawmakers propose legislation that would allow more cardrooms
A bill proposed by California lawmakers would permit more cardrooms to open in the state, potentially impacting a dispute between the state and a Native American tribe.
Cardroom dispute with Native American Tribe
The dispute stems from a 2000 agreement between the state and the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians.
The tribe agreed to give up its exclusive rights to operate cardrooms in exchange for a share of the revenue from other cardrooms in the state.
However, the tribe has since claimed that the state has not lived up to its end of the agreement.
The tribe has argued that the state has allowed too many cardrooms to open, which has cut into its revenue.
The state has denied these claims, arguing that it has complied with the agreement.
The proposed legislation would allow more cardrooms to open in the state, which could further strain the relationship between the state and the tribe.
The tribe has threatened to sue the state if the legislation is passed.
The outcome of the dispute could have a significant impact on the gambling industry in California.
It could also set a precedent for other disputes between states and Native American tribes over gambling.
