It’s a tool for communicating, and it’s really about recognizing government to government agreements.” “Generally, it’s difficult to be able to get all the tribes in the state to sit down, like, ‘How are we going to draft this?,’” he said. “What Senate Bill 34 does is it provides a framework for tribes to be able to help draft the legislative report for what needs to be in a bill to make compacting a reality.”
