25 CFR 293.28: May a compact or extension include provisions that limit the duration of the compact?
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 25—Indians
- CHAPTER I—BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
- SUBCHAPTER N—ECONOMIC ENTERPRISES
- PART 293—CLASS III TRIBAL-STATE GAMING COMPACTS
- Subpart D—Scope of Tribal-State Gaming Compacts
Yes. However, IGRA anticipates compacts are long-term agreements between a Tribe and a State. These agreements reflect carefully negotiated compromises between sovereigns. A refusal to negotiate a long-term compact, or a short-term extension of at least one year to allow for negotiations to continue, may be considered evidence of a violation of IGRA.
