Indiana § 4-29.5-4-21

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 29.5: TRIBAL-STATE COMPACT WITH THE
• Ch. 4: Administration and Regulation of Class III Gaming

Text

The Band shall conduct its Class III gaming
authorized under this Compact pursuant to an internal control system
that implements minimum internal control standards for Class III
gaming that are no less stringent than the applicable Minimum Internal
Control Standards set forth in this Compact and NIGC regulations. If
the Band's Certificate of Self-Regulation is revoked, thereafter the
Band shall be required to provide a copy of any amendment to its
internal control standards to the Indiana Gaming Commission within
thirty (30) days of the effective date of such amendment under Band
law. If the Indiana Gaming Commission determines that such standards
fail to meet the Minimum Internal Control Standards of this Compact
or applicable NIGC regulations, the Indiana Gaming Commission shall
within thirty (30) days of receiving such amendments, provide the
Band with a written notice that specifically identifies the Band internal
control standard at issue and the applicable standard under this
Compact or NIGC regulations, and, as warranted, an explanation of the
reasons underlying the State's determination. Within thirty (30) days of
receiving such notice from the State, the Band shall provide a written
response to the State that either: (i) refutes the State's determination; or
(ii) identifies proposed amendments to the Band's internal control
standards to correct the inconsistency, the timeframe for adopting such
amendments, and any proposed interim compliance measures to ensure
compliance with this compact and NIGC regulations. The State's right
to such Compliance Oversight of the Band's internal control systems
shall become effective immediately on the date the Certificate of
Self-Regulation is revoked notwithstanding any appeal of such
revocation the Band may pursue pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 2714. The
State's right to such Compliance Oversight of the Band's internal
control system shall cease to be effective immediately on the date that
the NIGC re-issues a Certificate of Self-Regulation to the Band. The
State retains the right, however, to ensure compliance with this
subsection in accordance with section 16 of this chapter regardless of
the status of the Band's Certificate of Self-Regulation.
