Indian Gaming Association urges Congress to advance tribal tax legislation
The Indian Gaming Association is pressing for federal legislation on tribal tax-exempt bonds and economic development, following a webinar on Congress's legislative agenda. Participants said the proposals would broaden eligible uses of tax-exempt bonds, including for revenue-generating tribal projects such as casinos; funding measures are not expected before the November mid-term election, according to a speaker.
The proposals could affect tribal access to tax-exempt financing for casino and other economic development projects.
