Footnotes:

  ¹ Compact was ratified through an alternate process that: 1) required the Governor to certify that it was materially identical to the 1999 Compacts at the time it was submitted to the Legislature; and, 2) was not rejected by the Legislature, as specified in AB 1385 (Battin, Chapter 874, Statutes of 1999). See Government Code section 12012.25(b).

  ² A Compact becomes effective after it is ratified in accordance with State law and upon publication of its approval by the Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior in the Federal Register. Secretarial Procedures are effective upon its approval by the Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior.

  ³ The State of California entered into a separate Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Tribe 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 AB 1738 (Coto, Chapter 42, Statutes of 2007). On February 5, 2008, voters approved Propositions 94, 95, and 97, which allowed the Compact amendments and the MOAs to go into effect.

  ⁴ The State of California entered into a Letter of Agreement (LOA) with the Tribe as government-to-government agreement for the purpose of enforcing provisions separate and apart from the 2006 Compact amendments.

California (9th Cir. 2015) 813 F.3d 1155 that Pauma's 2004 Amendment was rescinded. Therefore, the Tribe is subject to the 1999 Compact for purposes of payment obligations.

  ⁸ After assuming regulatory responsibilities under the 2013 Secretarial Procedures, the State of California entered into a mutual agreement with the Tribe to transfer the regulatory duties and responsibilities to the National Indian Gaming Commission.
