Section 98003.

Any state department or agency, or other subdivision of the state, providing gaming regulatory services to a tribe pursuant to the terms of this chapter, including a Gaming Compact entered into hereunder, is authorized to require and receive reimbursement from the tribe for the actual and reasonable costs of those services in accordance with a fee schedule to be agreed to by the tribe and the state that is based on what the state gaming agency reasonably charges other government agencies for comparable services. Any funds received from a tribe in reimbursement for those services are hereby continuously appropriated to that department, agency, or subdivision for those purposes. Any disputes concerning the reasonableness of any claim for reimbursement shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Gaming Compact.
