Abstract: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act requires Indian tribes that conduct class II and/or class III gaming to issue "a separate license … for each place, facility, or location on Indian lands at which class II [and class III] gaming is conducted," and to ensure that "the construction and maintenance of the gaming facilities, and the operation of that gaming is conducted in a manner which adequately protects the environment and public health and safety." The Commission has promulgated part 559 of title 25, Code of Federal Regulations, to implement these requirements.
