Short Summary
This section of the Revised Code of Washington governs the negotiation process for compacts with federally recognized Indian tribes for conducting class III gaming on federal Indian lands. The gambling commission, through the director or the director’s designee, is responsible for negotiating these compacts on behalf of the state of Washington. When a tentative agreement is reached, a copy of the proposed compact is transmitted to all voting and ex officio members of the gambling commission and designated standing committees of the legislature. The standing committees hold public hearings on the proposed compact and provide their comments to the gambling commission. The gambling commission, including the four ex officio members, then votes on whether to return the proposed compact for further negotiation or forward it to the governor for review and final execution. The negotiation process is funded by the gambling revolving fund. Additionally, the gambling commission is authorized to enforce the provisions of any compact between a federally recognized Indian tribe and the state of Washington, in accordance with the terms of the compact.
