SB41,1,2 1An Act to renumber and amend 14.035; and to create 14.035 (2) of the
2statutes; relating to: legislative approval of Indian gaming compacts.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current state law, the governor, on behalf of the state, is authorized to
negotiate and enter into Indian gaming compacts to regulate the operation of Indian
gaming facilities. These compacts are regulated by the federal Indian Gaming
Regulatory Act.
This bill provides that, before the governor may enter into, amend, extend, or
renew any Indian gaming compact that has been negotiated, the governor must
submit the proposed compact to the legislature for approval. The governor may not
enter into, amend, extend, or renew any compact until the legislature approves the
proposed compact by joint resolution. If the legislature does not approve the
compact, the compact must be returned to the governor for renegotiation.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
