Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed legislation ratifying an amended tribal-state gaming compact between the State of California and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.
Assembly Bill 2173, authored by Assemblymember Greg Wallis, R-Bermuda Dunes, extends the agreement through Dec. 31, 2061, while providing the tribe with additional flexibility for future growth, including up to 500 additional gaming devices.
The agreement also restructures the tribe’s contributions to California’s Revenue Sharing Trust Fund, which provides financial support to non-gaming and limited-gaming tribes across the state.
“Agua Caliente has been a tremendous partner to the Coachella Valley for generations, working closely with our local governments and investing in the communities we call home,” Wallis said.
