Oklahoma attorney general says United Keetoowah Band compact is invalid
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said the United Keetoowah Band’s signed Class III gaming compact is invalid because it was executed after the 1 January 2020 deadline. He said the tribe must negotiate an individual agreement with the state and had not obtained approval from the Joint Committee on State-Tribal Relations; the UKB has sought to resume gaming operations.
The opinion challenges the compact basis for the UKB’s proposed Class III gaming operations in Oklahoma.
