California bill imposes ban on new casino compacts

Thursday, March 17, 2005  

A California lawmaker has introduced a bill to seek a moratorium on new tribal gaming compacts for three years.

Assemblyman Joe Nation is proposing a constitutional amendment to ban new casinos until 2008 and create a commission to study the effects of gaming.

To go into effect, the amendment would need approval by voters in the state.
