    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 7646
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    In compliance with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) is updating its rules to adjust civil monetary penalties for inflation. These changes are designed to ensure penalties remain effective and serve as a deterrent. For 2021, the cost-of-living adjustment multiplier is 1.01182, raising the maximum penalty from $53,524 to $54,157 per violation. This adjustment applies to penalties assessed after February 1, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The National Indian Gaming Commission is updating its rules to make sure the money penalties for breaking the rules keep up with inflation, just like prices at the store go up. So now, if someone breaks the gaming rules, they could pay a fine that's a little higher than last year.
