Jordan, LOC Chairperson October 20, 2021 Extension of the Pardon and Forgiveness Law Emergency Amendments Please find the following attached backup documentation for your consideration of the extension of the Pardon and Forgiveness Law Emergency Amendments: 1. Resolution: Extension of the Emergency Amendments to the Pardon and Forgiveness Law 2. Statement of Effect: Extension of the Emergency Amendments to the Pardon and Forgiveness Law 3. Pardon and Forgiveness Law Overview Emergency amendments to the Nation’s Pardon and Forgiveness law (“Law”) were adopted by the Oneida Business Committee (“OBC”) through resolution BC-04-28-21-A to address the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic was having on the ability of the Pardon and Forgiveness Screening Committee (“PFSC”) to process, as well as conduct hearings, on applications for a pardon or forgiveness in a fair and efficient manner as is required under the Law. Previously, the Law only allowed for hearings on applications for a pardon or forgiveness to be conducted in-person, at a location to be determined by the PFSC. The emergency amendments added an option for the PFSC to conduct hearings virtually when deemed necessary. [1 O.C. 126.8-1(a)]. The OBC can temporarily enact legislation when necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare of the Reservation population, and the amendment of the legislation is required sooner than would be possible under the Legislative Procedures Act (“LPA”). [1 O.C. 109.9-5]. On March 12, 2020, Chairman Tehassi Hill signed a “Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency” in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which declared a Public Health State of Emergency until April 12, 2020 and set into place the necessary authority should action need to be taken, as well as allowed the Nation to seek reimbursement of emergency management actions that may result in unexpected expenses as a result thereof. [3 O.C. 302.8-1]. The Public Health State of Emergency has since been extended by the OBC until November 25, 2021, through its adoption of resolutions: BC-03-26-20-A, BC-05-06-20-A, BC-06-10-20-A, BC-07-08-20-A, BC08-06-20-A, BC-09-09-20-A, BC-10-08-20-A, BC-11-10-20-A, BC-12-09-20-D, BC-01-07-21A, BC-02-10-21-A, BC-03-10-21-D, BC-05-12-21-A, BC-06-23-21-B, BC-07-28-21-N and BC09-22-21-A. [3 O.C. 302.8-2]. Page 1 of 2 Public Packet 29 of 143 The emergency amendments to the Law were necessary for the preservation of the general welfare of the Reservation population. By allowing the PFSC to hold hearings on applications for a pardon or forgiveness virtually, instead of just in-person as was previously the only option, it eliminates any unnecessary contact between individuals who could spread the COVID-19 virus, while still affording individuals the fair and efficient process guaranteed under the Law to seek a pardon or forgiveness from the Nation. Additionally, observance of the requirements under the LPA for the adoption of the emergency amendments was contrary to the public interest. The PFSC was placed back into active status through adoption of resolution BC-11-24-20-C. While inactive, however, the PFSC received three (3) applications for a pardon or forgiveness that had yet to be processed or set for hearing. Since, at the time, the Nation’s Public Health State of Emergency was not set to expire until May 12, 2021, and with applications for a pardon or forgiveness already pending, as well as more submissions likely, the process and requirements of the LPA could not be completed in time to ensure applicants received the fair and efficient avenue required under the Law to seek a pardon or forgiveness without unnecessarily exposing them, and possibly the public, to the risks associated with the COVID-19 virus. The emergency amendments to the Law will expire on October 28, 2021. The LPA allows the OBC to extend emergency amendments for a six (6) month time period. [1 O.C. 109.9-5(b)]. A six (6) month extension of the emergency amendments to the Law is being requested because the Nation is still experiencing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the Nation continuing to be under a Public Health State of Emergency until at least November 25, 2021, on August 3, 2021, the OBC adopted resolution BC-08-03-21-A titled, Setting Public Gathering Guidelines During Public Health State of Emergency – COVID-19, to prohibit indoor and outdoor public gatherings when the COVID-19 infections rates in Brown or Outagamie Counties exceed “Low” as identified by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, as of date, the infection rates within Brown and Outagamie Counties exceed the threshold of “Low” thereby prohibiting any indoor and outdoor public gatherings within the Reservation, and thus, would preclude hearings on applications for a pardon or forgiveness absent the emergency amendments that allow for hearings to be conducted virtually, as well as in-person. The extension of the emergency amendments to the Law will become effective on October 28, 2021, when the emergency amendments as adopted by resolution BC-04-28-21-A expire and will remain in effect for an additional six (6) month term which will end on April 28, 2022. A fiscal impact statement and public meeting are not required for emergency legislation. [1 O.C. 109.95(a)].

[1 O.C. 126.8-1(a)]. The Legislative Procedures Act (“LPA”) allows the Oneida Business Committee to take emergency action where it is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety or general welfare of the reservation population and when enactment or amendment of legislation is required sooner than would be possible under the LPA. [1 O.C. 109.9-5]. In early 2020, the world began experiencing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the pandemic, on March 12, 2020, Chairman Tehassi Hill signed a “ Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency,” per the Emergency Management law, to set into place the necessary authority for the Nation to take action, if necessary, and to seek reimbursement of emergency management actions that may result in unexpected expenses. [3 O.C. 302.8-1]. The Nation’s Page 1 of 2 Public Packet 34 of 143 Public Health State of Emergency has since been extended by the Oneida Business Committee until November 25, 2021, through its adoption of resolutions: BC-03-26-20-A, BC-05-06-20-A, BC-06-10-20-A, BC-07-08-20-A, BC-08-06-20-A, BC-09-09-20-A, BC-10-08-20-A, BC-11-1020-A, BC-12-09-20-D, BC-01-07-21-A, BC-02-10-21-A, BC-03-10-21-D, BC-05-12-21-A, BC06-23-21-B, BC-07-28-21-N, and BC-09-22-21-A. [3 O.C. 302.8-2]. The Oneida Business Committee determined that the emergency amendments to the Law were necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, and general welfare of the Reservation population. The emergency amendments were needed to protect the Reservation population against the public health crisis that is the COVID-19 pandemic. By allowing the PFSC to conduct hearings on applications for a pardon or forgiveness virtually, instead of in-person, eliminates unnecessary contact between individuals who may have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus, while still affording individuals a fair and efficient process to seek a pardon or forgiveness. The Oneida Business Committee further determined that observance of the requirements under the LPA for adoption of the emergency amendments was contrary to the public interest since the Public Health State of Emergency had yet to expire such that, with applications pending, as well as more submissions likely, the process and requirements of the LPA could not be completed in time to ensure applicants received the fair and efficient procedure required under the Law for seeking a pardon or forgiveness without unnecessarily exposing them, and possibly the public, to the risks associated with the COVID-19 virus. The emergency amendments to the Law became effective immediately upon adoption by the Oneida Business Committee and are set to expire on October 28, 2021. The LPA authorizes the Oneida Business Committee to extend the adoption of emergency amendments for an additional six (6) month period. [1 O.C. 109.9-5(b)]. An extension of the emergency amendments to the Law is being requested because the Nation is still experiencing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this resolution, the extension of the emergency amendments to the Law will become effective on October 28, 2021, when the emergency amendments as adopted by resolution BC-04-28-21-A expire and will remain in effect for an additional six (6) month term, which will end on April 28, 2022. The LPA does not require a public meeting or fiscal impact statement when considering emergency legislation. Conclusion Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

Hi Councilman Guzman King, We had a chance to connect at the City Of Green Bay, State of the City event. I'm the County Supervisor who is all into food and ag. Bill Vervoort shared with me that Oneida was highlighted in the UN's "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021" http://www.fao.org/3/cb4474en/cb4474en.pdf, (PDF page 147). How affirming of all of y'all's great work to build a wholistic food system. Congratulations!!! I'm also writing to reach out about an opportunity to support a resolution that Justice Peche, an Oneida Nation tribal member and staffer at WI Conservation Voters, brought to Sup. Erickson and I. In fact, Justice may have already connected with you about it. It's a solidarity resolution to discourage further work on natural gas lines 3 and 5, in order to protect water ways and treaty rights. Here is link to the resolution that Justice will adapt, which Madison's City Council and the Dane County Board recently passed. https://madison.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=9630979&GUID=6385DF26-F0FB-4FA39829-2DE27E4D4B28 I'd love to get your take on it.
