===2006 legislation===

In 2006, Congress introduced legislation to protect their own casino interests from those tribes that are outside reservations.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}} Further, the [[Bureau of Indian Affairs]] (BIA) has faced increasing pressure to tighten regulatory policy and oversight of casino approvals. In particular, the BIA has been instructed by Congress to implement new procedures after two decades of IGRA's existence. These procedures would allow local communities to have more influence in the siting of casinos in their community and would make the process of casino approval more transparent. To many tribes, however, the proposed regulations will further encroach on tribal sovereignty.
