Keep the Promise Act of 2013

The Keep the Promise Act of 2013 (H.R. 1410) is a bill that was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during 113th United States Congress. The bill would prohibit the establishment of casinos on land in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area on Indian land acquired after April 9, 2013. If passed, the bill would have the immediate impact of preventing the Tohono O'odham Nation from building a casino on a piece of land in the Phoenix area which they purchased in 2003 and are currently in the process of having designated a reservation (a necessary step for the land to be used to build a casino). The law is seen as being directed at them.
