The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas to conduct gaming operations on specific lands in accordance with state law. It amends Section 47(a) of Article III of the Texas Constitution to include a new Section 47a, which grants the tribe the authority to offer various forms of gaming, including mobile gaming, if the state authorizes such activities after January 1, 2025, within 200 miles of the tribe's reservation. The designated gaming location must be on land owned or leased by the tribe outside its reservation boundaries.
Additionally, the resolution stipulates that the gaming operations will be regulated by both the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe and the Secretary of State, ensuring that state rules governing the tribe's gaming are not more restrictive than those for other gaming entities. It also limits the tax rates and fees imposed on the tribe's gaming operations to be no higher than those applied to other gaming locations in Texas. The proposed amendment is set to be presented to voters in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025.
