Analytic Dive Into the Interior Department’s Part 293 Compact Review Regulations

Apr 01, 2025
22
Legal & Tribal Sovereignty

It has been less than a year since the Department of the Interior's amendments to 25 CFR Part 293 have been in effect and the impact has been far-reaching with compacts for tribes in two states having been disapproved, compacts having gone into effect as “deemed approved” in six states, and Secretarial Procedures having been issued to more than a dozen tribes in California. The panel will discuss how the procedures have created a sea-change at the compact negotiation table. Will this trend continue into the new Administration?
