The Legislative Operating Committee reviewed information pe1iaining to the potential purposes an Oneida Land Trust law might serve during meetings on October 4, 2023, November 6, 2023, January 15, 2024, April 3, 2024, and May 1, 2024. Issue After consultation. with the Oneida Law Office, it was determined that placing the Nation's fee land into an Oneida Land Trust under an Oneida Land Trust law would not provide tax or jurisdictional benefits comparable to placing such land into federal trust status or restricted fee status. Tribal fee land held in a land trust is subject to a wide aiTay of complex jurisdictional matters and tax consequences depending on the many layers of governmental authorities any given propeiiy may be subject to. CmTently available mechanisms for protecting tribal fee land such as moving it into federaltrust status or restricted fee status provide tax and jurisdictional benefits superior to placing tribal .fee.land into a land trust. Requested Action Remove the·OneidaLand Trust law from the Active Files List so that resources may be allocated to tasks that promise greater benefit to the Nation at this time.

Kestell – Address Housing Issues/Veterans Home Loan Program Summary This petition requests the General Tribal Council to consider various directives regarding a Veterans Home Loan Program and a Home Rehabilitation Loan Program. Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office Date: May 15, 2023 Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office On March 18, 2024, the Petition: C. Kestell – Address Housing Issues/Veterans Home Loan Program (“the Petition”) was submitted to the Government Administrative Office by Connor Kestell and has since been verified by the Oneida Trust Enrollment Department on March 19, 2024. On March 27, 2024, the Oneida Business Committee acknowledged receipt of the Petition and directed that the Legislative Reference Office complete a statement of effect for the Petition with status updates to be submitted for the April 24, 2024, regular Business Committee meeting agenda and the first Business Committee meeting of the month thereafter or until the final documents are submitted.

All applicable laws and policies of the Nation were reviewed in developing this statement of effect for the Petition. Funding the Veterans Home Loan Program The Petition calls for the General Tribal Council to direct the Oneida Business Committee to direct Finance to fund the Veteran’s Home Loan Program within sixty (60) days. This directive would have an impact on legislation of the Nation, specifically, the Budget and Finances law. The Budget and Finances law sets forth the requirements to be followed by the Oneida Business Committee and the Oneida fund units when preparing the budget to be presented to the General Tribal Council for approval, and to establish financial policies and procedures for the Nation which:  institutionalize best practices in financial management to guide decision makers in making informed decisions regarding the provision of services, implementation of business plans for enterprises, investments, and capital assets;  provide a long term financial prospective and strategic intent, linking budget allocations to organizational goals, as well as providing fiscal controls and accountability for results and outcomes;  identify and communicate to the membership of the Nation spending decisions for the government function, grant obligations, enterprises, membership mandates, capital expenditures, technology projects, and capital improvement projects;  establish a framework for effective financial risk management; and  encourage participation by the Nation’s membership. [1 O.C. 121.1-1]. The Nation is required to develop, adopt, and manage an annual budget. [1 O.C. 121.5-1]. All revenues and expenditures of the Nation are required to be made in accordance with the annual budget. Id. The Nation’s annual budget is required to be a balanced budget, which does not propose to spend more funds than are reasonably expected to become available to the Nation during that fiscal year. Id. The Budget and Finances law provides for the process and procedures to be used for the development and adoption of the Nation’s budget. [1 O.C. 121.5-4]. Page 2 of 11 A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire. ~ ONEIDA 25 of 46 On September 25, 2023, the General Tribal Council adopted resolution GTC-09-25-23-A, Adoption of Fiscal Year 2024 Budget, which adopted the Fiscal Year 2024 budget in the amount of $528,978,084 as approved by the General Tribal Council for implementation with review and oversight by the Oneida Business Committee. The Fiscal Year 2024 budget was adopted prior to this Petition being submitted or presented to the General Tribal Council for consideration. Therefore, any allocation of funding to support the requests of this Petition has not been included in the Fiscal Year 2024 budget. All expenditures of the Nation are required to be made in accordance with the annual budget. [1 O.C. 121.5-1]. After the budget is adopted, amendments of the budget are not permitted unless it is necessary to avoid a budget deficit. [1 O.C. 121.5-5]. The Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer are required to identify when forecasted revenue and forecasted expenses are impacted in a manner which creates a deficit for the current fiscal year, and then the Chief Financial Officer is required to provide the Oneida Business Committee a written fiscal analysis and any input on the potential budget amendment. Id. The Oneida Business Committee is responsible for adopting an amendment to the budget through resolution of the Nation. Id. The Oneida Business Committee is required to present notification of the budget amendment at the next available General Tribal Council meeting. Id. So unless it is necessary to avoid a budget deficit, an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2024 budget to provide any allocation of funding to support the requests of this Petition would not be permissible under the Budget and Finances law. Additionally, unbudgeted expenditures are permitted under the Budget and Finances law if granted approval by the Oneida Business Committee. [1 O.C. 121.6-4(a)]. The Chief Financial Officer is required to provide the Oneida Business Committee with a written fiscal analysis and any input on any potential unbudgeted expenditure. Id. The approval of any unbudgeted expenditure is required to be made by the Oneida Business Committee through the adoption of a resolution prior to the expenditure being made by a fund unit. Id. Any unbudgeted expenditure for items and specific projects which were not identified in the approved budget made for over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) is required to be formally noticed by the Oneida Business Committee to the General Tribal Council at the next available General Tribal Council regular or special meeting. [1 O.C. 121.6-4(b), BC-05-11-22-B, BC-10-08-08-A.]. Any allocation of funding to support the requests of this Petition for future fiscal years would be required to be budgeted for in accordance with the process and procedures contained within the Budget and Finances law. Lending Requirements for the Veterans Home Loan Program The Petition calls for the General Tribal Council to direct the Oneida Business Committee to direct the General Manager and Finance to work with Bay Bank to establish the lending requirements Page 3 of 11 A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire. ~ ONEIDA 26 of 46 for the Veteran’s Home Loan Program and to have Bay Bank administer the Veteran’s Home Loan Program within sixty (60) days. This directive would not have an impact on legislation of the Nation. Amendment of the Leasing Law Rule No. 6 – Homeownership by Independent Purchase Program This Petition calls for the General Tribal Council to direct the Oneida Business Committee to direct the General Manager to direct the Comprehensive Housing Division to work with the Oneida Land Commission to make the necessary adjustments to the “HIIP” that would allow the program to work with and complement the Veteran’s Home Loan Program within sixty (60) days. It is assumed that when the Petition mentions “HIIP” it is referencing the Leasing Law Rule No. 6 – Homeownership by Independent Purchase Program which is commonly referred to as the “HIPP” rule. This directive may have an impact on legislation of the Nation, specifically, the Administrative Rulemaking law. The Administrative Rulemaking law provides an efficient, effective, and democratic process for the adoption and amendment of administrative rules. [1 O.C. 106.1-1, 106.1-2]. The Administrative Rulemaking law provides authorized agencies the opportunity to promulgate rules interpreting the provisions of any law enforced or administered by it; provided that, a rule may not exceed the rulemaking authority granted under the law for which the rule is being promulgated. [1 O.C. 106.4-1]. An authorized agency is any board, committee, commission, department, program, or officer of the Nation that has been granted rulemaking authority. [1 O.C. 106.3-1(a)]. A rule is a set of requirements enacted by an authorized agency in order to implement, interpret and/or enforce a law of the Nation, which may include citation fee and penalty schedules. [1 O.C. 106.31(h)]. A rule developed in accordance with the Administrative Rulemaking law has the same force and effect as the law which delegated the authorized agency rulemaking authority, and cannot conflict or supersede a law, policy, or rule of the Nation or a resolution adopted by the Oneida Business Committee or General Tribal Council. [1 O.C. 106.4-1(a)-(b)]. The Leasing law was adopted for the purpose of setting out the Nation’s authority to issue, review, approve, and enforce leases. [6 O.C. 602.1-1]. The Leasing law delegates rulemaking authority to the Oneida Land Commission and Land Management to jointly develop rules related to obtaining a residential, agricultural, or business lease. [6 O.C. 602.5-1]. Land Management is defined as “the Division of Land Management or other entity responsible for entering into leases of tribal land.” [6 O.C. 602.3-1(i)]. Per the Nation’s Real Property law, the Comprehensive Housing Division is the entity that is responsible for processing all leases of Tribal land for residential purposes. [6 O.C. 601.9-1]. Thus, the Comprehensive Housing Division is Land Management for purposes of the rulemaking authority delegated under the Leasing law. Page 4 of 11 A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire. ~ ONEIDA 27 of 46 The Leasing law further provides that Land Management shall develop, and the Oneida Land Commission shall approve, the format and requirements set out in the lease document applications for different types of leases, as well as additional procedures and processes to be followed when offering and awarding lease documents. [6 O.C. 602.5-1(a)]. The purpose of the Leasing Law Rule No. 6 – Homeownership by Independent Purchase (HIP) Program (“the Rule”) is to expand the services being offered by the Nation through the creation of a program in which the prospective lessee buyer initiates a purchase where the buyer would purchase the improvements and the Nation, subject to available funding, would purchase the land pursuant to the process and eligibility requirements set forth in the Land Management’s Land Acquisition for Residential Leasing Standard Operating Procedure. [Rule 1.1-1and 1.6-1]. Under this Rule the buyer would then enter a HIP residential lease for the land through the Comprehensive Housing Division. [Rule 1.1-1]. First and foremost, in regard to the Petition’s request that the Comprehensive Housing Division be compelled to work with the Oneida Land Commission to amend the Rule, the Administrative Rulemaking law provides that the authorized agency has the authority to decide if amendments to a rule are necessary to pursue, and the law further clarifies that the Oneida Business Committee cannot compel an authorized agency to amend a rule. [1 O.C. 106.12-3]. If the Comprehensive Housing Division and the Oneida Land Commission were to decide that amendments to the Rule should be made to work with and complement the Veterans Home Loan Program, any amendments made to the Rule would need to follow the process provided for in the Administrative Rulemaking law. [1 O.C. 106.4-3]. When amending a rule in accordance with the Administrative Rulemaking law, the authorized agency is first responsible for drafting the proposed amendments to the Rule. The proposed amendments have to comply with the template for rules as developed by the Legislative Operating Committee. [1 O.C. 106.5-1]. The authorized agency is then responsible for preparing a summary report regarding each proposed rule, which includes the name of the proposed rule, a reference to the law that the proposed rule interprets, along with a list of any other related laws, rules, or resolutions that may be affected by the proposed rule; a brief summary of the proposed rule; any changes made to the proposed rule based on the public comment period required by section 106.6, if applicable; a statement of effect for the rule prepared by the Legislative Reference Office upon request by the authorized agency; and the financial analysis. [1 O.C. 106.5-2]. The authorized agency is responsible for preparing the financial analysis and must send a written request to each entity that may be affected by the proposed rule soliciting information on how the proposed rule would financially affect the entity. [1 O.C. 106.5-2(f)(1)]. Each entity’s response indicating its financial affects are required to be included in the financial analysis. Id. If an authorized agency does not receive a response from one (1) or more entities regarding its request Page 5 of 11 A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire. ~ ONEIDA 28 of 46 for the financial effects of the rule on the entity within ten (10) business days of the date of the request, the authorized agency may submit a financial analysis noting which entities were nonresponsive to its request. [1 O.C. 106.5-2(f)(2)]. Once the authorized agency has completed the summary report, they can then move onto the next stage in the administrative rulemaking process which is obtaining public review of the proposed rule through a public meeting and public comment period. 1 O.C. 106.6-1]. This is the opportunity for members of the Nation to provide their input or suggestions on proposed rules. The authorized agency determines a public meeting date and then a public meeting notice is created that contains the date, time and place of the public meeting; the time period for the public comment period; the name, address, phone number, and other appropriate information on where to submit comments on the proposed legislation; and information for electronically accessing the proposed rule and summary report and a statement that hard copies of the materials will be available with the authorized agency. [1 O.C. 106.6-2(b)]. At least ten (10) business days before the public meeting is held, the public meeting notice is published in the Kalihwisaks and on the Oneida Register1. [1 O.C. 106.6-2(a)]. The public meeting is then held at the date, time and place designated in the meeting notice. [1 O.C. 106.6-2(c)]. The authorized agency holding the public meeting on the proposed rule is required to have a representative to preside over the public meeting and briefly describe the rule which is the subject of the public meeting and the nature of the rule’s requirements, and then open the meeting for comments. [1 O.C. 106.6-2(d)]. The authorized agency’s presiding representative is not required to comment or respond to comments at the meeting, but may at their discretion. [1 O.C. 106.6-2(d)(1)]. After the public meeting concludes, the authorized agency is required to hold open a public comment period for at least five (5) business days. [1 O.C. 106.6-2(h)]. During the public comment period individuals may submit written comments including data, views, arguments, concerns, or questions. The authorized agency may extend the public comment period as it deems appropriate by posting an amended public meeting notice prior to the close of the original public comment period. [1 O.C. 106.6-3]. Once the public comment period has concluded, the authorized agency is then required by the Administrative Rulemaking law to fully consider all comments received during the public comment period and during any public meeting held regarding a proposed rule. [1 O.C. 106.6-4]. The authorized agency accomplishes this responsibility by drafting a memorandum containing all public comments received and the authorized agency’s response to each comment. [1 O.C. 106.65]. If substantial changes are made to the proposed rule after all public comments are considered, then the authorized agency is required to hold an additional public meeting. [1 O.C. 106.6-6]. 1 The Oneida Register can be found on the Nation’s webpage found at the following location: https://oneida-nsn.gov/government/register/ Page 6 of 11 A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire. ~ ONEIDA 29 of 46 After the public comment period has expired and the authorized agency has considered all public comments received, the authorized agency then submits the proposed rule and all items contained in the administrative record to the Legislative Operating Committee for certification. [1 O.C. 106.7-1]. The proposed rule must be submitted for certification by the Legislative Operating Committee within six (6) months after the public comment period has expired, unless the Legislative Operating Committee determines there is good cause to go outside the time limits. [1 O.C. 106.7-1(a)]. The Legislative Operating Committee is then responsible for certifying the proposed rule meets the following requirements: that promulgation of the rule complies with the procedural requirements contained in the Administrative Rulemaking law; that the administrative record is complete; and that the rule does not exceed its rulemaking authority or conflict with any other law, policy, rule, or resolution of the Nation. [1 O.C. 106.7-2]. The Legislative Operating Committee then either determines the authorized agency has complied with the requirements for certification and certifies the proposed rule or determines that the authorized agency has not complied with the certification requirements and denies certification of the proposed rule. [1 O.C. 106.7-3]. If the Legislative Operating Committee denies the certification of a proposed rule, the proposed rule is returned to the authorized agency with specific feedback as to which requirements were not fulfilled, and the authorized agency may resubmit the proposed rule for certification by the Legislative Operating Committee once all requirements for certification have been met. [1 O.C. 106.7-3(b)]. If the Legislative Operating Committee certifies the proposed rule, then the Legislative Operating Committee forwards the administrative record to the Oneida Business Committee. [1 O.C. 106.7-3(a)(1)]. Once the Oneida Business Committee receives an administrative record for a proposed rule from the Legislative Operating Committee, the Oneida Business Committee reviews and considers the proposed rule, the administrative record, and the Legislative Operating Committee’s certification of compliance. [1 O.C. 106.8-1]. After review of all materials submitted and consideration of the proposed rule, the Oneida Business Committee either adopts the proposed rule, or denies the adoption of the proposed rule. [1 O.C. 106.8-2]. A majority vote is required for the adoption of a rule by the Oneida Business Committee. [1 O.C. 106.8-2(a)]. The Legislative Operating Committee is responsible for publishing the rule on the Oneida Register upon adoption by the Oneida Business Committee. [1 O.C. 106.8-2(a)(1)]. The Oneida Business Committee may deny adoption of the proposed rule if the Oneida Business Committee has any concerns and/or requested revisions to the rule. [1 O.C. 106.8-2(b)]. Upon the denial of the adoption of a proposed rule the Oneida Business Committee may request that the authorized agency work with the Oneida Business Committee to address any concerns. Id. The authorized agency is responsible for determining a rule’s effective date, provided that a rule may not become effective until the Oneida Business Committee adopts the proposed rule. [1 O.C. 106.9-1]. Any rule adopted in substantial compliance with the Administrative Rulemaking law is considered valid. [1 O.C. 106.4-3]. No rule may be contested based on non-compliance with the procedural requirements of the Page 7 of 11 A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire. ~ ONEIDA 30 of 46 Administrative Rulemaking law after one (1) year has elapsed from the effective date of the rule. [1 O.C. 106.13-1]. Any amendments made to the Rule would need to follow the process as described above and required by the Administrative Rulemaking law. It is unlikely the Comprehensive Housing Division and the Oneida Land Commission would be able to comply with the requirements of the Administrative Rulemaking law within the directed sixty (60) day timeframe to amend the Rule. Providing a List of Vacant Homes This Petition calls for the General Tribal Council to direct the Oneida Business Committee to direct the General Manager to direct the Comprehensive Housing Division to provide a listing of vacant homes that are in Comprehensive Housing Division home inventory, on the Comprehensive Housing Division fixed asset register, and any homes that are vacant where a decision has not been made if the home will be for sale or rental that are not currently on either the inventory listing or the fixed asset register with thirty (30) days. This directive would not have an impact on legislation of the Nation. Development of a Home Rehabilitation Loan Program This Petition calls for the General Tribal Council to direct the Oneida Business Committee to direct the General Manager to direct the Comprehensive Housing Division to work with Finance and Bay Bank to develop a Home Rehabilitation Loan Program, which should include the lending requirements for the homes owned by the Nation that are needing rehabilitation that are either on the inventory listing or the fixed asset register of the Comprehensive Housing Division, and to have these homes advertised for sale within thirty (30) days. This directive may have an impact on legislation of the Nation, specifically the Mortgage and Foreclosure law, Administrative Rulemaking law, Budget and Finances law, and Real Property law. The Mortgage and Foreclosure law sets the standards and requirements for participation in the mortgage programs and to prescribe the foreclosure process required to be used in the event of a default of a mortgage. [6 O.C. 612.1-1]. The Mortgage and Foreclosure law provides that consistent with available funds, the Comprehensive Housing Division is responsible for providing mortgage programs for the following purposes and is responsible for establishing rules naming said programs and providing the specific requirements for each program: financing the purchase or down payment of existing homes and lands; construction of new homes; repairs and improvements to existing homes; refinancing existing mortgages. [6 O.C. 612.4-1]. The Oneida Land Commission and the Comprehensive Housing Division are then jointly delegated rulemaking authority to develop rules governing the requirements of mortgages entered into by the Comprehensive Housing Division. [6 O.C. 612.4-4]. The Mortgage and Foreclosure Law Rule No. Page 8 of 11 A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire. ~ ONEIDA 31 of 46 1 - Mortgage Programs, Guidelines and Requirements currently provides the various mortgage programs offered by the Comprehensive Housing Division and provides additional requirements for participating in such programs than the minimum requirements found in the Mortgage and Foreclosure law. [Rule .1-1]. If it is interpreted that the Home Rehabilitation Loan Program would be a mortgage program of the Comprehensive Housing Division, then the Mortgage and Foreclosure law would be impacted. The Mortgage and Foreclosure law delegates the authority to create mortgage programs to the Comprehensive Housing Division, so the Comprehensive Housing Division would need to create a rule for the Home Rehabilitation Loan Program in accordance with the Administrative Rulemaking law as required in section 612.4-1 of the Mortgage and Foreclosure law. The Comprehensive Housing Division would then need to jointly work with the Oneida Land Commission to create a rule in accordance with the Administrative Rulemaking law that would govern the requirements of that mortgage as required in section 612.44 of the Mortgage and Foreclosure law. If the Petition’s directive that a Home Rehabilitation Loan Program be developed would include funding the program, then the Budget and Finances law would be impacted, and the analysis of the legislative impact of funding the Veterans Home Loan Program described earlier in this memorandum would also apply to the funding of the Home Rehabilitation Loan Program. The Petition also directs that the homes owned by the Nation that are needing rehabilitation that are either on the inventory listing or the fixed asset register of the Comprehensive Housing Division be advertised for sale within thirty (30) days. The Real Property law delegates the authority to the Comprehensive Housing Division to oversee all residential transactions within the Reservation, and the responsibility to process and administer such transactions using the applicable of the Landlord-Tenant law, the Mortgage and Foreclosure law, the Leasing law and/or the Eviction and Termination law; including any corresponding rules. [6 O.C. 601.12-1]. The Oneida Land Commission and the Comprehensive Housing Division are delegated joint rulemaking authority to provide process requirements, including but not limited to advertising, notice, prequalification, and selection, that apply in all circumstances when the Nation is selling a residential property. Id. Real Property Law Rule No. 2 – Comprehensive Housing Division Residential Sales provides the requirements for both the Nation and potential buyer when the Comprehensive Housing Division offers a residential property for sale. All requirements of the Real Property law and the corresponding rules would need to be complied with by the Comprehensive Housing Division moving forward if any homes are listed for sale. Page 9 of 11 A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire. ~ ONEIDA 32 of 46 Conclusion After a review of all applicable laws and policies of the Nation, it has been determined that the adoption of the Petition: C. Kestell – Address Housing Issues/Veterans Home Loan Program would have the following legislative effect: 1. The Petition’s directive for the General Tribal Council to direct the Oneida Business Committee to direct Finance to fund the Veteran’s Home Loan Program within sixty (60) days has a legislative impact.  The Fiscal Year 2024 budget was adopted prior to this Petition being submitted or presented to the General Tribal Council for consideration, so any call of action for an allocation of funding to support the requests of this Petition has not been included in the Fiscal Year 2024 budget. All expenditures of the Nation are required to be made in accordance with the annual budget. Unless it is necessary to avoid a budget deficit, an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2024 budget to provide any allocation of funding to support the requests of this Petition would not be permissible under the Budget and Finances law.  Any allocation of funding to support the requests of this Petition for future fiscal years would be required to be budgeted for in accordance with the process and procedures contained within the Budget and Finances law. 2. The Petition’s directive for the General Tribal Council to direct the Oneida Business Committee to direct the General Manager and Finance to work with Bay Bank to establish the lending requirements for the Veteran’s Home Loan Program and to have Bay Bank administer the Veteran’s Home Loan Program within sixty (60) days would not have legislative impact. 3. The Petition’s directive for the General Tribal Council to direct the Oneida Business Committee to direct the General Manager to direct Comprehensive Housing Division to work with the Oneida Land Commission to make the necessary adjustments to the Leasing Law Rule No. 6 – Homeownership by Independent Purchase (HIP) Program that would allow the program to work with and complement the Veteran’s Home Loan Program within sixty (60) days may have a legislative impact.  The Administrative Rulemaking law provides that it is the authorized agency that has the authority to decide if amendments to a rule are necessary to pursue, and that the Oneida Business Committee cannot compel an authorized agency to amend a rule.  If amendments to the Leasing Law Rule No. 6 – Homeownership by Independent Purchase (HIP) Program are pursued, all processes and procedures contained within the Administrative Rulemaking law are required to be followed.  It is unlikely that the Comprehensive Housing Division and the Oneida Land Commission would be able to amend the Leasing Law Rule No. 6 – Homeownership by Independent Purchase (HIP) Program in accordance with the Administrative Rulemaking law in the sixty (60) day timeframe directed by this Petition.

Currently, when a board, committee, or commission seeks amendments to their bylaws they submit a request to the Legislative Operating Committee. The Legislative Operating Committee then decides to either accept the request and add the bylaws amendments to its Active Files List or denies the request for amendments. If bylaws are added to the Active Files List for amendments to be made, the Legislative Operating Committee then assigns an attorney from the Legislative Reference Office to assist with drafting and/or processing the bylaws amendments so they ultimately can be presented to the Oneida Business Committee for adoption. The Boards, Committees, and Commissions law requires that amendments to bylaws of boards, committees, and commissions of the Nation be approved by the Oneida Business Committee, in addition to the General Tribal Council when applicable, prior to implementation. [1 O.C. 105.103(g)]. It is not required that amendments to bylaws be processed through the Legislative Operating Committee. Moving forward, the Government Administrative Office and the board, committee, or commission’s assigned attorney from the Oneida Law Office will assist in developing amendments to bylaws. This change in process will allow bylaw amendments to be directly placed on an Oneida Business Committee meeting agenda for approval. This means the Legislative Operating Committee will no longer process amendments to bylaws for boards, committees, and commissions of the Nation, which should streamline the amendment process. The Government Administrative Office and the Oneida Law Office will be prepared to begin aiding boards, committees, and commissions with processing amendments to their bylaws on June 1. 2024.
