FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 2003 Members of California's Congressional delegation have introduced a bill to make it harder for the Department of Interior to take land into trust for a restored tribe. The bill targets the Graton Rancheria Tribe, whose status was restored by Congress in 2000. As a restored tribe, the blanket provision against gaming on land taken into trust after 1988 normally wouldn't apply. The bill would change that by forcing the Graton Tribe to meet stricter environmental and public input requirements required under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. Get the Story:
