1A Tribal State Gaming Compact is not effective until the executed Compact is ratified by statute and a notice of approval is published in the Federal Register.
Under Assembly Bill 1385 (Chapter 874, Statues of 1999), 57 Compacts were expressly ratified by the Legislature (1999 Compacts). Additionally, this bill
provided for the ratification of other Compacts, executed after September 10, 1999, that were certified by the Governor to be materially identical to the 1999
Compacts, and subject to review and possible rejection by the Legislature. Ultimately, 61 Compacts were ratified as 1999 Compacts.
2The State of California entered into a separate Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians as a
government-to-government agreement for the purpose of enforcing provisions separate and apart from the 2006 Compact amendments.
This MOA was approved by the Legislature under Assembly Bill 1738 (Chapter 42, Statutes 0f 2007). On February 5, 2008, voters approved
Proposition 97, which allowed the Compact amendment and the MOA to go into effect, subject to approval by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
3The State of California and the Coyote Valley Reservation (formerly Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians) ratified an Amended Compact on
September 17, 2012. This Amended Compact was approved by the Legislature under Assembly Bill 787 (Chapter 340, Statutes of 2012). The U.S.
Department of Interior approved this ratified Amended Compact and it was published in the Federal Register on December 28, 2012.
4The State of California and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria executed a Tribal State Gaming Compact on March 27, 2012. This Compact
was ratified on May 17, 2012 by the State and Tribe. The U.S. Department of Interior approved this ratified Compact and it was published in the
Federal Register on July 12, 2012.
5The State of California and the Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake executed a Tribal State Gaming Compact on January 7, 2010. It was disapproved
under Section 2710(d)(8) of IGRA by the U.S. Department of Interior, Office of the Secretary on August 17, 2010. A new Compact was executed on
June 13, 2011 by the State and Tribe. On July 30, 2011, the U.S. Department of Interior approved this new compact and it was published in the
Federal Register on August 10, 2011.
6The State of California entered into a separate Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Morongo Band of Mission Indians as a government-to-government
agreement for the purpose of enforcing provisions separate and apart from the 2006 Compact amendments. This MOA was approved by the Legislature under
Assembly Bill 1738 (Chapter 42, Statutes of 2007). On February 5, 2008, voters approved Proposition 95, which allowed the Compact amendment and the
MOA to go into effect, subject to approval by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
7The State of California entered into a separate Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians as a government-to-government
agreement for the purpose of enforcing provisions separate and apart from the 2006 Compact amendments. This MOA was approved by the Legislature under
Assembly Bill 1738 (Chapter 42, Statutes of 2007). On February 5, 2008, voters approved Proposition 94, which allowed the Compact amendment and the
MOA to go into effect, subject to approval by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
8The State of California and the Pinoleville Pomo Nation executed a Tribal State Gaming Compact on March 9, 2009. This Compact was repealed
and ratified on August 8, 2011 by the State and Tribe. On January 26, 2012, the U.S. Department of Interior approved this ratified Compact and it
was published in the Federal Register on February 3, 2012.
9The State of California entered into a Letter of Agreement (LOA) with the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians as a government-to-government agreement
for the purpose of enforcing provisions separate and apart from the 2006 Compact amendments. This LOA was approved by the Legislature under
Assembly Bill 1212 (Chapter 227, Statutes of 2007). No referendum was filed against the Tribe; therefore, voter approval was not required in the
February 5, 2008 election to allow the Compact amendment and the LOA to go into effect.
