Oneida Nation Law Enforcement Ordinance Amendments: Public Comment

Review

On March 14, 2025, a public meeting was held regarding the proposed amendments to the Oneida

Nation Law Enforcement Ordinance. One (1) person made oral comments during the public

meeting. The public comment period was then held open until March 21, 2025. No submissions

of written comments were received during the public comment period. This memorandum is

submitted as a review of the comments received during the public meeting. The public meeting

draft and public meeting transcript are attached to this memorandum for review.

Comment 1 – Clarification on Safety:

301.6. Oneida Public Safety and Security Commission

301.6-1. Establishment. There is hereby established an Oneida Public Safety and Security

Commission to provide oversight regarding the activities and actions of public safety and

security operations throughout the Reservation to provide the greatest possible professional

services to the Nation and to allow for community input regarding those public safety and

security services through its representatives on the Oneida Public Safety and Security

Commission. The Oneida Public Safety and Security Commission is an oversight body of the

following departments of the Nation, but its oversight authority does not involve decision

making processes on day-to-day activities of those public safety services:

(a) Oneida Police Department;

(b) Internal Security Department; and

of the Oneida Public Safety and Security Commission.

Shannon Stone (oral): Hello, my name is Shannon Stone. I'm the Public Works Director, and the

law that I'm inquiring about is the Oneida Public Safety and Security Commission law. The, the

part that I was curious about is where it says that they will be overseeing all safety and security

departments of the Nation. I'm not sure how that's being interpreted, because safety is such a broad

topic. It could, is that intended to reach into the operations or is this primarily just for public safety?

…

But I did submit an e-mail awhile back, but I think my main concern is that public safety and safety

within operations are really two (2) different areas of concern and they have different skill sets that

would be involved in in those. Knowledge of the law with regard to the public and knowledge of

law within a working environment are quite different. And so to have a, one and this is why we

have OSHA and we have other labor boards and such within the federal government. And so I

guess my concern would be that we define that a little bit more clearly. So that there's

understanding, especially within the organization, how this oversight committee would impact the

organization's operations. That would be my comment.

Page 1 of 2

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

9 of 41

…

Um. Not at this time. You know, we we do have a Safety law in in I I think for for organizational

purposes. Ah that safety law works pretty well for us, but I think that's what I would refer to for

safety within the organization.

Response

The commenter suggests that section 301.6-1 of the proposed amendments to the Oneida Nation

Law Enforcement Ordinance be better clarified to differentiate between “public safety” and

“operational or occupational safety.”

The proposed amendments to the Oneida Nation Law Enforcement Ordinance establish an Oneida

Public Safety and Security Commission to provide oversight regarding the activities and actions

of public safety and security operations throughout the Reservation. [3 O.C. 301.6-1]. The Law

then goes on to state that the Oneida Public Safety and Security Commission is an oversight body

of the following departments of the Nation, but its oversight authority does not involve decision

making processes on day-to-day activities of those public safety services: Oneida Police

Department; Internal Security Department; and any other safety operation department of the

Nation as identified in the bylaws of the Oneida Public Safety and Security Commission. [3 O.C.

301.6-1(a)-(c)].

In an effort to clarify the application of section 301.6-1(c) of the Law, the following revision is

recommended:

301.6. Oneida Public Safety and Security Commission

301.6-1. Establishment. There is hereby established an Oneida Public Safety and Security

Commission to provide oversight regarding the activities and actions of public safety and security

operations throughout the Reservation to provide the greatest possible professional services to the

Nation and to allow for community input regarding those public safety and security services

through its representatives on the Oneida Public Safety and Security Commission. The Oneida

Public Safety and Security Commission is an oversight body of the following departments of the

Nation, but its oversight authority does not involve decision making processes on day-to-day

activities of those public safety services:

(a) Oneida Police Department;

(b) Internal Security Department; and

department of the Nation as identified in the bylaws of the Oneida Public Safety and

Security Commission.

We will now begin today’s public meeting for the proposed amendments to both the Oneida Nation

Law Enforcement Ordinance Amendments and the Landlord Tenant Law Amendments.

The purpose of the Oneida Nation Law Enforcement Ordinance is to regulate the conduct of the

Nation’s law enforcement personnel according to the highest professional standards. The Oneida

Nation Law Enforcement Ordinance amendments:



Change what positions in the Oneida Police Department are required to be held by enrolled

members of the Nation.

Allow for the sworn oath of a law enforcement officer to take place at a special Oneida Business

Committee meeting, or at an alternative time and location as determined by the Oneida Business

Committee Secretary, in addition to at a regular Oneida Business Committee meeting.

Expand the Oneida Police Commission into the Oneida Public Safety and Security Commission,

which will oversee the Internal Security Department and any other safety operation department of

the Nation, in addition to the Oneida Police Department.

Revise the eligibility qualifications and responsibilities for Oneida Public Safety and Security

Commission members.

Update the disciplinary proceedings for law enforcement officers.

And make other drafting change to the law.

The purpose of the Landlord-Tenant Law Amendments is to provide mechanisms for protecting

the rights of the landlords and tenants on all land owned by the Nation or members of the Nation

within the Reservation boundaries. The Landlord Tenant Law amendments will:



Extend the application of the law to all landlords and tenants on land owned by the Nation or

members of the Nations.

Provide that when the Nation is acting in its capacity as the landlord, and the property has become

untenable due to damage by fire, water or other casualty, or because of any condition hazardous to

health, the Nation will provide the tenant with alternative housing if it is reasonably available.

Extend the legal protections provided to a child of a tenant to any child of the household.

Eliminate the Land Commission’s rulemaking authority under the Landlord Tenant Law.

Eliminate all rulemaking authority over applicant selection and the issuance of rental agreements.

Those who wish to speak, please raise your hand. Please state your name when making a comment

and which law you are commenting on.

We currently don't have any hands up or anybody in the room. I got a hand up.

Shannon Stone: Hello, my name is Shannon Stone. I'm the Public Works Director, and the law

that I'm inquiring about is the Oneida Public Safety and Security Commission law. The, the part

that I was curious about is where it says that they will be overseeing all safety and security

departments of the Nation. I'm not sure how that's being interpreted, because safety is such a broad

Marlon Skenandore: Well, we usually don't answer questions. It's more or less the basing

comments off the law that you see and that way we can take it into. So, I would advise to possibly

look into some of the amendments that are being changed and then you still have time to written

comments there, Shannon.

Shannon Stone: But I did submit an e-mail awhile back, but I think my main concern is that public

safety and safety within operations are really two (2) different areas of concern and they have

different skill sets that would be involved in in those. Knowledge of the law with regard to the

public and knowledge of law within a working environment are quite different. And so to have a,

one and this is why we have OSHA and we have other labor boards and such within the federal

government. And so I guess my concern would be that we define that a little bit more clearly. So

that there's understanding, especially within the organization, how this oversight committee would

impact the organization's operations. That would be my comment.

Marlon Skenandore: Thank you for that, Shannon. You got any other points you'd like to bring

up?

Shannon Stone: Um. Not at this time. You know, we we do have a Safety law in in I I think for

for organizational purposes. Ah that safety law works pretty well for us, but I think that's what I

would refer to for safety within the organization.

Marlon Skenandore: Okay. All right. Thank you for your comments. Anybody else online on

teams that would like to comment on the two (2) laws that we have here? We're gonna wait a

couple more minutes in case somebody shows up late or has a late comment online.

All right. We currently have nobody in person. I'm gonna make one last call here to anybody online

that would like to comment on either one of these laws. Okay.

With being no more speakers, public meeting for the proposed amendments to the Oneida Nation

Law Enforcement Ordinance amendments and the landlord Tenant Law amendments is now closed

at 12:26 p.m. This is a last note, written comments may be submitted until close of business on

Friday, March 21, 2025.

Thank you all for joining and you have a good, good weekend.

One Year Review of the Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace Law Amendments

Background

On February 14, 2024, the Oneida Business Committee adopted the most recent amendments to the

Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace law through the adoption of resolution BC-02-14-24-B,

Amendments to the Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace law. The purpose of the Drug and Alcohol

Free Workplace law is to establish a drug and alcohol-free workplace program that balances respect

for individuals with the need to maintain an alcohol and drug-free environment. [2 O.C. 202.1-2].

The amendments to the Drug an Alcohol Free Workplace law require that all external and internal

applicants participate in pre-employment drug testing, and that a negative drug test result shall be

required for employment eligibility. [2 O.C. 202.8-4]. The amendments to the Drug and Alcohol Free

Workplace law further provide that an external applicant’s confirmed positive THC test result shall

be exempted from the requirement of a negative drug test result for pre-employment eligibility unless

prohibited by an external licensing or grant requirement. [2 O.C. 202.8-4(a)]. Once an individual is

hired by the Nation, the employee is prohibited from the use of prohibited drugs and alcohol during

working hours, when on-call, and when operating a vehicle owned by the Nation or a vehicle rented

by the Nation. [2 O.C. 202.4-2]. All employees of the Nation are required to participate in reasonable

suspicion and follow-up testing upon the request of an appropriate authority. [2 O.C. 202.8-5]. A

negative test result is required for unimpeded employment eligibility. Id.

When the Oneida Business Committee adopted the most recent amendments to the Drug and Alcohol

Free Workplace law, the Oneida Business Committee also directed the Legislative Operating

Committee to conduct a one (1) year review regarding the amendments. This memorandum serves as

the one (1) year review of the most recent amendments to the Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace law.

One Year Review

In order to conduct a one (1) year review of the Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace law amendments

the Legislative Operating Committee both held a work meeting on February 3, 2025, and reached out

via e-mail to representatives from the following areas with a request for information regarding the

implementation of the most recent amendments to the Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace law:

 Human Resources Department;

 Employee Health Nursing;

 Oneida Law Office;

 General Manager;

 Gaming; and

 Retail.

Page 1 of 2

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

40 of 41

The following information regarding the first year of the Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace law

amendments was provided:

 Employee Health Nursing began exempting an external applicant’s confirmed positive THC

test result for pre-employment drug testing on March 4, 2024.

 From March 4, 2024 through December 31, 2024, Employee Health Nursing conducted four

hundred twenty-three (423) total pre-employment drug tests.

 Employee Health Nursing exempted positive THC test results for thirty-eight (38)

external applicants.

 Sixteen (16) external applicants were for Programs, and twenty-two (22)

external applicants were for Gaming.

 The amount of exempted positive THC test results equates to approximately

nine percent (9%) of the total pre-employment drug tests.

 As of February 19, 2025, Employee Health Nursing exempted positive THC test results for

three (3) external applicants. One (1) external applicant for Programs, and two (2) external

applicants for Gaming.

 It was noted that two (2) internal transfer applicants tested positive for THC and thought

their positive test result would be waived, as they were unclear that the exemption for preemployment drug testing provided for in section 202.8-4(a) of the Drug and Alcohol Free

Workplace law applied to only external applicants.

Overall, the common impression of the first year implementation of the Drug and Alcohol Free

Workplace law amendments is that the amendments are working well and as intended, and the

adoption of these amendments has led to an increase in the Nation’s hiring ability. At this point in

time additional amendments to the Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace law were not identified.

Requested Action

Accept the one (1) year review of the Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace law amendments.

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.
