IC 4-29.5-12-4: Successor compact; negotiation procedure

Sec. 4. If the General Assembly of the State rejects the renewal of this Compact for a Renewal Term under section 2 of this chapter or section 3 of this chapter, the Band may request to negotiate a successor compact by serving written notice on the State prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term then in effect. In the event that the Band serves written notice on the State under this subsection and the parties are unable to conclude a successor compact prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term then in effect, then this Compact shall remain in effect pending exhaustion of the administrative and judicial remedies set forth in IGRA, provided that in the event that the State raises the defense of sovereign immunity in the administrative or judicial proceedings, this Compact shall remain in effect pending the negotiation and approval of any successor compact.
