Quarterly Report
Legislative Operating Committee
October - December 2015
1. Purpose and Mission
The purpose and mission of the Legislative Operating Committee (LOC) is to enhance the
policymaking capability of the Oneida Business Committee (OBC) and the General Tribal Council
(GTC) by drafting laws and policies and reviewing past and current laws, policies and regulations of
the Oneida Tribe.
A legislative analysis is completed for proposed laws, policies, regulations, bylaws and amendments.
Public meetings are facilitated by the LOC in accordance with the Legislative Procedures Act (LPA). A
Resolution and Statement of Effect are prepared for all legislation that is presented for final adoption
which is submitted to the OBC and/or GTC for approval.
2. Members
The LOC is comprised of the five council members of the OBC: Brandon Stevens (Chair), Tehassi Hill
(Vice-Chair), Jennifer Webster, Fawn Billie, and David P. Jordan.
3. Contact Information
The LOC office is located on the second floor in the Norbert Hill Center. For more information, please
contact the Legislative Reference Office (LRO) at (920) 869-4376 or e-mail LOC@ oneidanation.org.
4. Meetings
The LOC holds regular meetings on the first and third Wednesday of every month. The meetings begin
at 9:00 a.m., and are held in the Norbert Hill Center - Second Floor, Business Committee Conference
Room.
5. Prioritization
The LOC continuously reviews the proposals on our Active Files List (AFL). Priorities are identified
based on GTC Directive, OBC Directive and by LOC agreement/consensus.
6. Summary
During this reporting period (October, November, and December 2015), the LOC:
 Added 9 legislative items to the Active Files List (AFL) and completed processing one
legislative item; bringing the total number of legislative items on the AFL to 56, as of January
1, 2016.

Page 1 of 3

Page 45 of 422



Added one administrative item (a GTC petition) to the Active Files List and forwarded a
statement of effect for this item to the OBC; bringing the total number of legislative
analyses/statements of effect prepared for GTC petitions this term to 15.
Held five Public Meetings.

Legislative Items Added to the Active Files List
Of the 9 legislative items added to the AFL during the reporting period, five are proposals that would
create new Tribal laws; three would amend existing Tribal laws, and one would amend the bylaws for a
Tribal entity:
1. New Law: Probate Law. This proposed law would set out a process for administering the
estate of a deceased person, including resolving all claims and distributing the deceased
person’s property. Currently, the Real Property Law contains various provisions related to
probate, but this Law would comprehensively address the topic. Added to the Active Files List
on 10/7/15.
2. New Law: Mortgage and Foreclosure Law. This proposed law set out a process for how the
Tribe administers mortgages and foreclosures. This law is being developed because the Land
Commission’s hearing responsibilities are being transferred to the Judiciary. Added to the Active
Files List on 10/7/15.
3. New Law: Landlord-Tenant Law. This is a proposal for a new law to establish the roles and
responsibilities of the Landlord and Tenant. This law is being developed because the Land
Commission’s hearing authority is being transferred to the Judiciary. Added to the Active Files
List on 10/7/15.
4. New Law: Research Protection Act. This is a proposal for a new law that is intended to assist
Oneida with consultation and research from Tribal members. The goal is to use intellectual
brain power of Oneida college graduates who are willing to serve as a Tribal resource, ensuring
future Tribal growth and prosperity. Added to the Active Files List on 10/21/15.
5. New Law: Severance Law. This proposal provides a process for the Tribe’s offering of
severance agreements to employees when it is determined that the financial conditions of the
Tribe warrant a need to reduce the workforce. Added to the Active Files List on 10/21/15.
6. Amendments: Marriage Law. Proposed amendments were requested to provide for a way to
waive the standard waiting period between applying for a license and solemnizing the marriage,
provide for an administrative fee for amendments to an application after it has been submitted
and to provide for a process to adopt a fee schedule. Added to the Active Files List on 11/4/15.
7. Amendments: Vendor Licensing Law. Amendments were requested because the SEOTS staff
ran into issues when trying to obtain a new vendor. Additional changes are also being processed
to update and streamline the law. Added to the Active Files List on 11/18/15.
8. Amendments: Real Property Law. The proposed amendments would, among other things,
transfer all Land Commission hearing responsibilities to the Judiciary. Various sections of the
Law would also be removed and separate laws would be created to address those topics. Added
to the Active Files List on 10/7/15.
9. Amendments: Land Commission Bylaws. These amendments would remove the hearing
authority from the Land Commission and transfer it to the Judiciary. Added to the Active Files
List on 10/7/15.
Legislative Items Completed
One legislative item was completed during this reporting period and removed from the Active Files
List – A new Furlough Policy was adopted by the OBC on November 10, 2015.

Page 2 of 3

Page 46 of 422

Emergency Actions

analysis - on November 4, 2015, the LOC added Petition: Food Pantry to the Active Files List, and on
January 6, 2016, the LOC forwarded the prepared statement of effect for this item to the OBC.

 10/29/15 – Higher Education Scholarship Policy
 10/29/15 – Community Support Fund Policy Amendments

ADD ON: Meeting Stipend Discussion

There was a discussion of the Policy for Boards, Committees, and Commission relating to
the stipend for community members that are appointed by the Business Committee to sit
on these committees. Specifically discussed was the possibility of utilizing preparation time
at home by community members as part of the time associated with meetings; some
Finance Committee meetings were less than the stipulated one hour requirement, but premeeting preparation time is not addressed. At this time there is no specific language in the
Policy regarding preparation time outside of the meetings and the FC By-Laws also mirror
the language of the Policy; in order to make changes a process for policy development
that will affect all these entities needs to be established and is being worked on within the
overall development related to the Four Directions. Further discussion regarding the role of
the Finance Committee and possible changes was also discussed.

Adjour n: Motion by Jennifer Webster to adjourn. Seconded by Wesley Martin, Jr.

Dear Tribal Leaders, Emergency Managers and Public Health Professionals:
On Tuesday, April 26th, 2016 the Wisconsin Tribal Emergency Management Alliance (WiTEMA), in conjunction
with Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) will be holding a tabletop exercise at the Pine Hills Golf Course,
N9498 Big Lake Road, Gresham WI 54128; on the Stock Bridge Munsee Reservation. Registration will begin at
Sam, the exercise is scheduled to begin at 9:00am, and end with an after-action review from 1- 2 pm. Lunch
will be provided. A tentative timeline for the day is included with this invitation.
This exercise is the first of its kind in Wisconsin, drawing together invitees from the eleven federally-recognized
tribes and tribal nations to discuss pertinent issues of Health related concerns potentially facing our communities.
The exercise will focus on a Health Issue affecting multiple tribes and communities simultaneously with a
common source. Through the use of communication sharing and inter-tribal mutual aid we will dialogue how a
response would be coordinated.
In order to maximize the potential for tribal participation in this exercise we are sending you this SAVE THE
DATE notice for APRIL 26th, 2016. To ensure a productive focused collaborative discussion we are limiting
participation to three (3) individuals per Tribal Nation, we are asking Executive/Elected Officials, Emergency
Management and Public Health be given priority to attend as participants. Additional attendees, (please limit to 3
individuals) will be allowed to observe the Tabletop Exercise. Those interested in attending please send an email
to Kaylynn Gresham, Oneida Nation Emergency Management (kgresham@oneidanation.org).
Thank you, and if you have additional questions, you may contact Kaylynn Gresham, Oneida Nation Emergency
Management at (920) 366-0411. If you have any questions in regards to the location of the Tabletop Exercise,
