1998 Indian Gaming Compacts.

1998 INDIAN GAMING COMPACTS. REFERENDUM STATUTE. • A ‘‘Yes’’ vote approves, a ‘‘No’’ vote rejects a law, previously passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, that would: • Formally approve 11 tribal-state compacts that were concluded in 1998; • Provide procedures for approving future compacts; • Declare the Governor responsible for negotiation of compacts; and authorize Governor to waive state’s immunity to suit by tribes. Summary of Legislative Analyst’s Estimate of Net State and Local Government Fiscal Impact: • If Proposition 1A (on this ballot) is approved, Proposition 29 would have no fiscal impact on state and local governments. • If Proposition 1A is not approved, Proposition 29 would result in unknown, but probably not significant fiscal impacts on state and local governments
