For the record: Secretary Lisa Summers I'm not opposed to the process being completed, so that's

why I didn't oppose it. I am abstaining because I do feel like the motioner [at the January 20, 2020,

annual General Tribal Council meeting] was not clear about their intent about whether or not the

motion to have any ecomonic development or financial strategy be reviewed and vetted by a 3rd

independent party...the motioner was not clear about whether or not they meant that for any activity

that the tribe engages in across the board. Because this conversation happened under a very specific

item on the agenda at the GTC meeting which was the Oneida Golf Enterprise and the Ladies

Professional Golf final report. So I believe that the motion pertains to that specific topic.

Statement of Effect

Tobacco Law Emergency Amendments

Summary

This Resolution adopts an amendment to the Tobacco Law (the “Law”) that increases the

minimum age to purchase tobacco from eighteen (18) to twenty-on (21).

Submitted by: Jennifer Falck, Legislative Reference Office

Date: February 26, 2020

Resolution:

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

The Tobacco law regulates the sale, possession, and distribution of tobacco products within the

Reservation. [1 O.C. 115.1-1]. Tobacco products include cigarettes, tobacco, and e-cigarettes.

An emergency amendment to the Law is being requested in order to address public health and

general welfare of the Reservation population and comply with an amendment to the Federal Food,

Drug, and Cosmetic Act. On December 20, 2019, President Trump signed into law an amendment

to increase the minimum age of the sale of tobacco products from eighteen (18) to twenty-one (21).

The amendment was effective immediately.

Currently, the Law restricts the sale of tobacco products to those eighteen (18) and older. This

amendment would increase the minimum age a person must be to purchase tobacco products to

twenty-one (21).

The Oneida Business Committee may temporarily enact an emergency law where legislation is

necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare of the

reservation population and the enactment or amendments of legislation is required sooner than

would be possible under the conventional legislative process.

This amendment is considered an emergency because it impacts public health. In addition,

complying with federal laws of general applicability are in the best interest of the Nation’s general

welfare.

If adopted these amendments would expire on July 26, 2020.

Conclusion

Adoption of this Resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

The intent of the proposed emergency amendments to the Tobacco law (Law) is to

increase the minimum age for sales of tobacco products and from eighteen (18) to

twenty-one (21) in response to a change in the federal law that was signed on

December 20, 2019. The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 [HR 18

1865-563 Section 603(a)(5)] requires an amendment to section 906(d) of the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act [21 U.S.C. 387f(d)] that became effective

immediately and made it unlawful to sell tobacco products to any person younger

than twenty-one (21) years of age.

The proposed amendments are being presented for temporary emergency approval

in accordance with the Legislative Procedures Act to immediately protect public

health and to bring the Nation into compliance with the change to federal law.

There would not be time to process the amendments under the standard legislative

process before the change in federal law became effective [1 O.C. 109.9-5].

The purpose of this Law is to regulate the sale, possession and distribution of

cigarettes within the Reservation [1 O.C. 115.1-1].

Oneida Retail Enterprise, Oneida Casino Employees, Oneida Judiciary, Oneida

Police Department

Oneida Personal Policies and Procedures, Judiciary law, Citations law

All cigarettes acquired, owned, possessed, sold, or distributed in violation of this

law are unlawful property and subject to seizure by any Oneida law enforcement

officer [1 O.C. 115.8-1]. Violators subject to the jurisdiction of the Nation shall be

subject to a fine of not more than ten dollars ($10) per pack of un-stamped cigarettes

to be issued by the Oneida Police Department and paid to the Nation [1 O.C. 115.81(a)].

Oneida Nation employees who violate this Law shall be subject to disciplinary

action in accordance with the Nation’s laws, rules, and policies governing

employment [1 O.C. 115.8-1(b)]. Persons issued citations under this law may

contest the citation with the Nation’s judicial system [1 O.C. 115.8-2]. Citations

issued will follow the process contained in the Citations law [8 O.C. 807].

A public meeting in accordance with the Legislative Procedures Act is not required

for legislation considered as an emergency [1 O.C. 109.8-1(b) and 109.9-5(a)].

A fiscal impact statement prepared in accordance with the Legislative Procedures

Act is not required for legislation considered as an emergency [1 O.C. 109.9-5(a)].

Emergency amendments are effective immediately upon approval by the Oneida

Business Committee, expire six (6) months from the date of approval and may be

extended for up to six (6) additional months [1 O.C. 109.9-5(b)].

SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENT

A. Background. The Tobacco law was first adopted by the Oneida Business Committee (OBC) on March

15, 1976, and most recently amended on January 25, 2017. The proposed emergency amendments to

the Tobacco law (the Law) are being requested in response to a change in federal law [Public Law No:

116-94. Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020]. The Further Consolidated Appropriations

Act, 2020, was signed into law on December 20, 2019, and effectively directed a change to the Federal

Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to raise the legal age to purchase tobacco products to at least twenty-one

(21) years old effective immediately. This change in federal law applies equally to all tobacco retail

outlets making it illegal on a federal level to sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of twentyone (21). Impact. As a result of this change to federal law; section 115.6-3 of the Nation’s Tobacco

law may be amended to the restrict sales of tobacco products by striking eighteen (18) and inserting

twenty-one (21) to comply with this federal requirement.

a. Tobacco Products. Tobacco products is not included in the definitions section and is

therefore used in the everyday sense [1 O.C. 115.5].

b. Traditional Tobacco. The Law does not apply to traditional tobacco [1 O.C. 115.3-1].

c. Federal Register. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is required to publish in

the Federal Register, within six (6) months, a final rule to update the regulations issued

under chapter IX of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to strike all instances of “18

years” and insert “21 years”, update the relevant age verification requirements to require

age verification for individuals under the age of 30 [Further Consolidated Appropriations

Act, 2020, p. 1492-1503].

d. Retailer Responsibility. The Federal amendments make it clear that it is the responsibility

of the retailer to ensure that tobacco products are not sold to anyone under the age of

twenty-one (21). “It shall be unlawful for any retailer to sell a tobacco product to any

person younger than 21 years of age” [Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, p.

1493]. Employee Responsibility. The Nation’s law further applies disciplinary action to

employees who violate the Law which, as amended, includes selling tobacco products to

anyone under the age of twenty-one (21) [1 O.C. 115.8-1(b)].

B. The proposed emergency amendments to the Tobacco law bring the Nation into compliance with the

amended federal law.

SECTION 3. CONSULTATION AND OUTREACH

A. Compliance. Correspondence with the Oneida Retail Division Director has revealed that the Nation

has already begun to implement the federal change to the age of purchasing tobacco by raising the

required minimum age to twenty-one (21) to buy tobacco within all of the Nation’s retail tobacco

locations [Email Communication, January 8, 2020]. Additionally, signs have been changed throughout

the reservation and registers have been reprogrammed to reflect the age twenty-one (21). This change

in federal law also affects Oneida Casino employees who are between eighteen (18) and twenty (20)

years old who previously purchased cigarettes for guests of the Oneida Casino. Those purchases will

now require an Oneida Nation Casino employee who is at least twenty-one (21) years old [Kalihwisaks,

January 9, 2020].

B. Consultation. The Oneida Law Office was consulted in the development of the emergency amendments

to the law and legislative analysis [Personal Communication, January 30, 2020]. According to the

Oneida Law Office; this change in federal legislation is a law of general applicability which means it

applies equally and with general consistency to all people, including tribal governments [Wildenthal,

2017]. This change in federal law and the minimum age of twenty-one (21) years old to purchase

tobacco products will apply to Kwik Trip in the same way it applies to the Oneida tobacco outlets. The

change in federal law applies to the sales of tobacco products; the federal law does not mention and

therefore does not apply to youth smoking or the possession of tobacco products by anyone under the

age of twenty-one (21) [Federal, Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act – Tobacco Products].

2020 02 26

C. Research. The increase in the age to purchase tobacco products to twenty-one (21) is based on research

related to the age that a person begins smoking and their likelihood to become addicted. Research

demonstrates that if a person has never smoked by the age of eighteen (18), the odds are three-to-one

that he will never smoke. By age twenty-four (24) the odds are twenty-to-one [Tobacco 21, Nicoteen

Brain]. Age Change in Progress Prior to Federal Amendment. Nineteen (19) states and 540 local

jurisdictions had already raised the minimum age to purchase tobacco products to twenty-one (21) prior

to the change in Federal Legislation [Tobacco 21, FAQ].

SECTION 4. PROCESS

A. The LOC added the Tobacco law emergency amendments to the active files list during a regular LOC

meeting on February 5, 2020.

B. The amendments to this Law have followed the required process related to emergency legislation

detailed in the Legislative Procedures Act (LPA) [1 O.C. 109.9-5].

C. The proposed emergency amendment will be presented to the LOC and forwarded to the OBC for

consideration of approval. The LPA only requires that a legislative analysis accompany the amended

law for approval on an emergency basis. A public meeting and a fiscal impact statement are not

required for the consideration of emergency legislation [1 O.C. 109.9-5(a)].

a. The LPA defines emergency as the “immediate preservation of the public health, safety, or

general welfare of the reservation population and the enactment or amendment of

legislation is required sooner than would be possible under this law” [1 O.C. 109.9-5].

b. Emergency enacted legislation becomes effective upon approval and remains effective for

six (6) months from the date of approval. Emergency enacted legislation expires when six

(6) months has passed unless the emergency is extended for an additional six (6) months

[1 O.C. 109.9-5(b)].

SECTION 5. CONTENTS OF THE AMENDMENTS

A. The proposed emergency amendments change the age for the sale of tobacco products from prohibiting

sales under the age of eighteen (18) to prohibiting sales under the age of twenty-one (21) [1 O.C. 115.63].

SECTION 6. EFFECT ON EXISTING LEGISLATION

A. The following laws were reviewed in the development of this legislative analysis: Oneida Personal

Policies and Procedures, Citations law and Judiciary law.

B. The proposed amendment does not conflict with the Nation’s Code of Laws.

SECTION 7. ENFORCEMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY

A. The Law is currently enforced by all Oneida Nation Tobacco Retail Locations utilizing existing staff.

B. Oneida Nation employees who violate this law are subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the

Nation’s laws, rules, and policies governing employment [1 O.C. 115.8-1(b)]. Persons issued citations

under this Law may contest the citation with the Nation’s judicial system [1 O.C. 115.8-2].

C. The Oneida Retail Division Director is responsible for the implementation of the amended Law.

SECTION 8. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

B. Emergency Legislation. The Legislative Procedures Act authorizes the OBC to temporarily enact an

emergency law where legislation is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety

or general welfare of the reservation population and the enactment or amendment of legislation is

required sooner than would be possible by utilizing the standard legislative process [1 O.C. 109.9-5(b)].

In this situation, there would not be time to amend the law through the standard legislative process prior

to the changes to federal law going into effect.

C. Deadline for Permanent Adoption of Amendments. If adopted on an emergency basis by the OBC as

proposed on February 26, 2020; these amendments will become effective immediately and will remain

in effect for up to six months (August 26, 2020), with a possibility of a one-time extension of up to an

additional six months (February 26, 2021) [1 O.C. 109.9-5(b)].

D. Additional Amendments. These emergency amendments only consider one amendment to change the

prohibited age of sales of tobacco products from any person under the age of eighteen (18) [1 O.C.

115.6-3 of Current Law] to any person under the age of twenty-one (21) [1 O.C. 115.6-3]. Additional

amendments to the Law may be considered when permanent amendments are considered.

E. Fiscal Impact. A fiscal impact statement is not required.

a. Under the Legislative Procedures Act, a fiscal impact statement is required for all

legislation except emergency legislation [1 O.C. 109.9-5(a)].

Investment Update: Northern Trust for p.e. 12-31-19

Terry Cornelius, CFA – Finance

Terry out; CFO will provide update if Terry cannot get back in time.

Motion by Larry Barton to defer this and the following item to the end of the agenda. Seconded by

Chad Fuss. Motion carried unanimously.

Terry out with illness so CFO will provide brief updates on the reports and will abstain from the

motion.

Larry discussed the overall investment portfolio of the Oneida Nation noting that it is mixed with

stocks, bonds, and Treasury Bills for balance in an everchanging marketplace; stocks fluctuate more

and are tied to direct worldwide activities and political strategies; bonds are incumbent to temper the

risk and T-bills create cash fluidity to cover the Nation’s weekly expenses as well as yearly expenses

such as payroll and per capita. He highlighted several money managers that have exceeded their

indices and overall the quarter was a quiet one with modest gains. The next few months we’ll see

more fluctuations due in part to the presidential elections and the current pandemic out of China;

there is an educated opinion from market experts who anticipate the next year we will see an

economic recession. The Oneida Nation has an investment policy that is conservative in nature, as do

the investment managers we have so much of the impending volatility that is expected should be

weathered to some degree.

Motion by Jennifer Webster to approve the Northern Trust Investment Update provided by the

CFO for period ending Dec. 31, 2019. Seconded by Patrick Stensloff. Larry Baton abstained.

Motion carried.

Investment Update: 4 Fires for p.e. 12-31-19

Terry Cornelius, CFA – Finance

Larry discussed the asset and currently still has a solid performance due in large part to the location

(Washington, D.C.) and the completion of the building remodeling/updates. Overall the investment

put in by the Oneida Nation has been recouped and we have received modest returns; some of the

risks to keep in mind as we move forward is the number of other rooms moving into the D.C. area

and the changing lodging preferences to a younger business class who are more readily using the Air

B&B venues; expecting the managing partner to again refinance the property in the next year as their

strategy is to pull as much capital as they can for their other investments/properties.

Motion by Jennifer Webster to approve Four Fires Investment Update for period ending Dec. 31,

2019. Seconded by Patrick Stensloff. Larry Barton abstained. Motion carried.

4. Justification:

Describe the justification of this Travel Request:

Request to attend the NIGA Tradeshow & Convention in San Diego, CA. This is the largest gathering of tribal

leaders and casino executives in the country, the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention is both the meeting

place where the community gathers to learn network and exchange industry-specific ideas and a cultural

celebration of success, strength and self-reliance.

At the 2019 Food Summit here at Oneida, I proposed to NIGA that they do a Food Sovereignty track that

promotes tribal foods and tribal food businesses within the tribal gaming industry, so they asked me to come

moderate the panel. I was also sought out as a panelist for the Cannabis and Hemp session given the national

attention Oneida is receiving through our Hemp initiatives locally and nationally, as well as our ambitious goals

of addressing Cannabis opportunities for Oneida and Wisconsin.

At the February 12 BC meeting, action was taken to send up to three BC members. At the February 14 BC work

session, the agreement was made to send four BC members.

This request is to approve an amendment for that travel request for up to four (4) BC members to attend.
