The House Natural Resources Committee will hold a hearing on Wednesday, February 27, to discuss the Bush administration's new land-into-trust policy.
In January, assistant secretary Carl Artman issued guidelines that make it harder for tribes to take land into trust for off-reservation casinos. More scrutiny will be applied to gaming sites that are hundreds of miles away from existing reservations.
