加利福尼亚州法官以联邦法为由 阻止了一起部落诉讼 关闭私人卡片室

加利福尼亚州法官阻止了一场旨在关闭私人卡片室的部落诉讼,执政的联邦印第安赌博法预先阻止了州根据参议院第549号法案授予部落地位的努力。 A California judge has blocked a tribal lawsuit aiming to shut down private card rooms, ruling federal Indian gaming law preempts state efforts to grant tribes standing under Senate Bill 549. 这一决定受到加利福尼亚赌博协会的欢迎,保留了卡片室的运作及其重要的地方服务税收入。 The decision, welcomed by the California Gaming Association, preserves card rooms' operation and their vital tax revenue for local services. 尽管部落要求专属赌博权和一场代价高昂的政治争斗,但法院没有在州法院找到解决争议的法律途径,使卡片室赌博的前途在联邦司法管辖之下不确定。 Despite tribes' claims of exclusive gambling rights and a costly political fight, the court found no legal path to resolve the dispute in state court, leaving the future of cardroom gaming uncertain under federal jurisdiction.
