Section 1

Short Title

This Act may be cited as the Criminal Offenses Act.

Application

A.

This Act shall apply to all Indian and non-Indian persons violating its provisions

within the territorial jurisdiction of the Tribe, provided, that the provisions of Chapter

Four of this Act shall apply to all members of the Tribe and all Indian residents of the

jurisdiction of the Tribe where ever such violation may occur, if such violation has

any actual or intended effect upon the political integrity or political or economic

security of the Tribe.

B.

This Act shall apply to non-Indians violating its provisions within the territorial

jurisdiction of the Tribe to the extent not inconsistent with federal law, and to the

extent that any person found to have violated any provision of this Act may be

prosecuted in a civil action, and shall be subject to all of the remedies, sanctions, and

punishments available at law, except that the non-Indian offender shall not be subject

to jail or incarceration by the Court as a possible punishment for a tribal offense. The

non-Indian, in such cases, shall have all the procedural rights of a criminal defendant,

and such cases shall be tried by the rules of criminal procedure. The Courts shall

retain the inherent and statutory powers of civil contempt and legal and equitable

relief which are herein expressly preserved.

C.

This Act shall apply to non-Indians violating its provisions within the territorial

jurisdiction of the Tribe to the extent not inconsistent with federal law, and to the

extent that any person found to have violated any provision of this Act may be

banished from the jurisdiction of the Tribe for a period of not more than ten (10)

years, or for such longer term as may be imposed by the section violated, in a civil

proceeding brought by the Attorney General. The non-Indian, in such cases, shall

have all the procedural rights of a criminal defendant, and such cases shall be tried by

the rules of criminal procedure.

D.

Each violation of any provision of this Act or any other tribal law by a non-Indian

shall be considered a civil violation subject to enforcement by any means not

prohibited by federal law, including but not limited to, the issuance of fines,

forfeitures, costs, civil contempt and exclusion.

C.F.R. Not Applicable

Any and all provisions of Part 11 of Title 25 of the United States Code of Federal

Section 2

Section 4

Civil and Criminal Immunity for Persons Aiding Police Officers

Private citizens aiding a police officer in the performance of his duties as a police officer,

shall have the same civil and criminal immunity as a police officer, as a result of any act or

commission for aiding or attempting to aid a police officer, when such officer is in imminent

danger of loss of life or grave bodily injury or when such officer requests such assistance and

when such action was taken under emergency conditions and in good faith.

Every federal, state, and local law enforcement officer engaged in the performance of

official duties as a federal, state, and local law enforcement officer or when serving as a police

officer for the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma shall have the same immunity from civil and criminal

actions as any other officer performing official duties within this jurisdiction. The Iowa Tribe of

Oklahoma or any of its political subdivisions shall not assume the liability for or provide the

legal representation for any federal, state, and local law enforcement officer serving as police

officers of the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma.
