The California Gambling Control Commission has proposed its own version of the minimum internal control standards, or MICS, but some tribes are opposed.
The MICS cover just about every aspect of Class III gaming. The state proposed them after a federal court said the National Indian Gaming Commission lacked authority to impose them on tribes.
The state doesn't seem to be faring any better with its version. The California Tribal Business Alliance, a small group of tribes, says there is no need for the MICS.
"It’s a solution in search of a problem," Alison Harvey, the group's executive director, told Capitol Weekly. "The question is, for those tribes, why do we need yet another agency reviewing what is already under federal review?"
The comment period on the MICS closed August 11.
