98005
. The Gaming Compact offered in Section 98004 shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be deemed agreed to, approved, and executed
by the State of California in the event a request therefor is duly
made by a federally recognized Indian tribe in accordance with
Section 98002 and it is not executed by the Governor within the time
prescribed in this chapter, provided that, in the event this
provision is deemed to be unlawful or ineffective for any reason, or
if the tribe in its discretion seeks to compel execution of the
Gaming Compact through court action, the State of California hereby
submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States in any
action brought against the state by any federally recognized Indian
tribe asserting any cause of action arising from the state's refusal
to execute the Gaming Compact offered in Section 98004 upon a tribe's
request therefor. Without limiting the foregoing, the State of
California also submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the
United States in any action brought against the state by any
federally recognized California Indian tribe asserting any cause of
action arising from the state's refusal to enter into negotiations
with that tribe for the purpose of entering into a different
Tribal-State compact pursuant to IGRA or to conduct those
negotiations in good faith, the state's refusal to enter into
negotiations concerning the amendment of a Tribal-State compact to
which the state is a party, or to negotiate in good faith concerning
that amendment, or the state's violation of the terms of any
Tribal-State compact to which the state is or may become a party.
