CURFEW LAW

The purpose of this law is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of persons and property within the Reservation by regulating the activities of minors on the Reservation during certain hours, while imposing certain

obligations and responsibilities upon the parents, guardians, and/or legal custodians of a minor for the control

and supervision of that minor.

The Curfew law will:

1. Require that no minor be on any public space between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. within the boundaries of the Reservation, unless the minor is accompanied by a parent, guardian, or

legal custodian.

2. Provide exemptions to the curfew - or situations in which a minor can be out during curfew hours

without violating curfew.

3. Provide the process for the enforcement of the curfew by the Oneida Police Department, and what

penalties the Family Court may issue against a minor and/or his or her parent, guardian, or legal

custodian upon a finding that a curfew violation occurred.

PUBLIC COMMENTS PERIOD CLOSES THURSDAY, JULY 25, 2019

During the Public Comment Period, anyone may submit written comments. Comments may be

submitted to the Oneida Nation Secretary’s Office or the Legislative Reference Office in person, by U.S. mail, interoffice mail, or e-mail.

PROVIDING USEFUL PUBLIC COMMENTS

Providing public comment is an important way to make your voice heard in decision making. Public comments can strengthen a decision or provide different

perspectives. The Legislative Operating Committee wants to hear from you!

READ THE PUBLIC MEETING MATERIALS: Before you provide comments familiarize yourself with

the legislation. A public meeting packet is made for every public meeting and they include 1) a

notice with the date, time, location, 2) a draft of the proposed legislation, and 3) a plain language

review of the legislation and its impact on the Oneida Nation.

PREPARE YOUR COMMENTS: When you are familiar with the legislation, start to prepare

comments. The LOC is responsible for reviewing every comment received. To get your message

across effectively, frame your comment clearly and concisely. Here is an example of how to create a

useful comment:

Least Useful Comment

This law isn’t good for the

community.

ANALYST:

The Tribal Action Plan (TAP) Laws and Policy Subcommittee recommended the

Legislative Operating Committee (LOC) draft a curfew law to protect the safety of

youth in the community, as well as provide accountability to both youth and parents

through consequences that reflect the circumstances and needs of the community.

The Curfew law (“Law”) will protect the health, safety and welfare of persons and

property on the Reservation by restricting access to public spaces by minors during

certain night time and early morning hours.

To protect the health, safety, and welfare of persons and property within the

Reservation by regulating the activities of minors on the Reservation during certain

hours, while imposing certain obligations and responsibilities upon the parents,

guardians, and/or legal custodians of minors for the control and supervision of

minors [3 O.C. 308.1-1].

Oneida Police Department (OPD) and Oneida Judiciary

Family Court law, Per Capita law, Garnishment law, Rules of Appellate Procedure,

Family Court Rules, Oneida Judiciary Rules of Evidence, Oneida Judiciary Rules

of Civil Procedure, Landlord-Tenant law

The OPD will enforce suspected violations of this Law by issuing warnings and

citations [3 O.C. 308.6].

Citations issued result in a mandatory appearance at a citation pre-hearing for both

the minor and his or her parent, guardian, or legal custodian.

• The Family Court may issue conditional orders as well as penalties that

include fines, community service, mandatory participation in family

counseling or parenting programs, and any other penalty the Family Court

deems appropriate [3 O.C. 308.6-3(a) and (c)].

A citation for a violation of this Law shall be processed in accordance with the

procedure contained in the Nation’s laws and policies governing citations [3 O.C.

308.6-3(b)].

A public meeting has not yet been held.

A fiscal impact statement prepared in accordance with the Legislative Procedures

Act has not yet been requested.

SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENT

A. Background. The Nation does not currently have a law establishing a curfew governing minors in

public spaces during certain night time and early morning hours. This Curfew law was requested by

the Tribal Action Plan (TAP) Laws and Policy Subcommittee which included input from a cross

functional core team that included representatives from the Oneida Business Committee (OBC), Oneida

Police Department, Governmental Services Division, Oneida Gaming Commission, Oneida Family

Support Services, Legislative Operating Committee, Legislative Reference Office (LRO), Oneida

Human Resources Department and Retail Division. This team concluded that a curfew law would help

curtail opportunities for minors to be influenced by drugs by limiting their presence in public spaces

within the community during certain hours, including night time and early morning, without the

presence of a parent, guardian, or legal custodian.

Outreach Efforts

Outreach with the community was held during the Community Budget Session on November 30,

2018 where the LOC had an opportunity to collect input from participants by asking them to share their

ideas about new laws, amendments to existing laws or anything else they wanted to share. Participants

indicated the need for a curfew law for the Reservation [LOC FY19 First Quarter Report].

Additionally; a community outreach event was held on March 21, 2019 at the Norbert Hill Center

cafeteria from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. to collect input from the community. No members of the

community participated in this event.

Related Research

Research regarding curfew laws revealed that the most common goals of a curfew law are to 1)

protect children from becoming victims or perpetrators of crimes, 2) assist parents in exercising their

responsibility over minors, and 3) prevent all persons from the dangers posed by unsupervised minors

who are out late at night and in the early morning hours. Research indicates that curfew laws may

protect youth from victimization and prevent juvenile crimes and delinquency by reducing or

preventing exposure of youth to negative situations by restricting their access to public spaces at night

and early morning hours [Grossman & Martin, 2015]. Although some research has indicated that most

crimes involving minors take place during after school hours rather than late at night or early morning

hours [Meyers, 2016]; the goal of this legislation within the Oneida Reservation is to keep minors safe

and accounted for during curfew hours.

According to the Office of Juvenile and Delinquency Prevention; the following contribute to the

successful implementation of curfew policies:

o Community involvement;

o Creating specific procedures for repeat offenders such as recreational, educational, and job

opportunities as well as antidrug and antigang programs;

o Providing a hotline for community questions or problems related to curfews or juvenile

delinquency in general; and

o Providing intervention services for juveniles and their families.

B. Previous Attempts to Implement a Curfew. The LOC has considered a law that included a curfew in

the past. A curfew provision was considered in a Public Nuisances law drafted by the LOC in 2010;

however, this law was not completed or adopted.

• Previous attempts at regulating minors through a curfew that were not legislative include a curfew

requirement of 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. that was included in previous Oneida Housing Authority

tenant leases. This provision is not in current leases [Email Communication 05/03/2019, Scott

Denny, Residential Rentals & Outreach Area Manager, Oneida Comprehensive Housing

Division].

C. Expected Benefits. The purpose of this legislation is to provide a clear timeframe that minors must be

out of public spaces and accounted for by their parents, guardians or legal custodians. Members of the

Oneida Nation High School Clan Council indicated that a curfew law may help to prevent teens from

partying, staying out late and engaging in other bad behaviors; as well as helping with responsibility,

encouraging youth to stay out of trouble and encouraging safety and school attendance. A curfew law

provides a means for parents to enforce a curfew with their children to provide an additional measure

of safety, accountability, obligation and responsibility to both the Nation’s minors and adults

[McDowall, Loftin & Wiersema, 2009]. A curfew law provides OPD with a means to engage with

suspected minors during curfew hours to tell them to go home and to encourage adult supervision of

minors during curfew hours. OPD has expressed that the goal is to keep minors safe and to prevent

vandalized property, arson, graffiti, petty theft and drug issues.

SECTION 3. CONSULTATION AND OUTREACH

A. Departments and Groups. The following departments and groups participated in the development of

this Law:

1. Oneida Police Department; and

2. Members of the Oneida Nation High School Clan Council.

B. Laws of the Nation. The drafting of this legislative analysis included a review of the following laws of

the Nation: Family Court law, Family Court Rules, Rules of Appellate Procedure, Oneida Judiciary

Rules of Evidence, and Oneida Judiciary Rules of Civil Procedure, Per Capita law, Garnishment law,

Public Use of Tribal Lands law, and Landlord-Tenant law.

C. Area and Tribal Laws. The following curfew laws from surrounding municipalities and other tribal

communities were reviewed. The chart provides a breakdown of the ages and curfew time frames the

laws apply to.

*The State of Wisconsin, Outagamie County and Town of Oneida do not have curfew laws in place.

D. Data. A memorandum from the TAP Laws and Policy Subcommittee suggested that data related to

police interactions with youth ages seventeen (17) years and younger be requested from the Oneida

Police Department and other neighboring jurisdictions to provide a background for juvenile activity in

the area.

1. The Oneida Police Department does not currently enforce any curfew laws. The following is

a breakdown of juvenile related calls received by the Oneida Police Department in 2018 [Email

communication 05/06/2019, Eric Boulanger, Chief of Police, Oneida Police Department].

Page 3 of 10

9 of 51

Analysis to Draft 2

2019 06 19

There were a total of eighty-eight (88) juvenile

related calls in 2018 received by the Oneida

Police Department. Sixteen (16) of those calls

occurred between the hours of the proposed

curfew timeframe of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

81

82

83

84

2. The City of Green Bay has issued the following citations related to curfew violations from

2010 to 2018 [Email communication 05/03/2019, Michelle Belongie, Crime Analyst, Green

Bay Police Department].

Curfew violations range from ninety-five (95)

to three hundred twenty-one (321) per year.

• Curfew applies to minors under seventeen

(17) years of age.

• The curfew does not apply to seventeen (17)

year old minors because under Wisconsin’s

juvenile justice code, seventeen (17) year olds

are tried as adults for all crimes [Walsh, T.J.,

Wisconsin Lawyer]. Seventeen (17) year old

minors are considered to be contributing to

curfew violations of minors under seventeen

(17).

*The LOC has determined that the law will apply to minors seventeen (17) years of age or younger. Parent, guardians

and legal custodians are responsible for minor’s actions until they reach eighteen (18) years of age and become legally

competent adults. The law places the discretion with OPD to determine in each individual instance whether the Curfew

law has been violated and whether to issue a citation.

SECTION 4. PROCESS

A. Below is a diagram of the legislative process contained in the Legislative Procedures Act [1 O.C. 109]

with some additional useful information. The LOC has reviewed the proposed Curfew law and

legislative analysis and is currently at the stage of requesting a public meeting be held and a fiscal impact

statement developed by the Finance Office.

meeting; the opportunity was presented to the community to gather input on the development of

the Law.

• May 1, 2019: A work meeting was held with the LOC and the LRO.

• May 15, 2019: A work meeting was held with the LOC and the LRO.

• June 5, 2019: The draft and legislative analysis are scheduled to be presented to the LOC for

further consideration.

Community Outreach Event March 21, 2019

March 21, 2019

The LOC hosted a community pot luck to discuss a Curfew

Law. While the community expressed interest in the event,

no one attended the meeting. This highlights how

collecting public comment is difficult.

SECTION 5. CONTENTS OF THE LEGISLATION

A. Purpose and Policy [3 O.C. 308.1]

• The purpose of the Law is to restrict access to public spaces by minors not accompanied by

certain adults during established night and early morning hours, while imposing obligations and

responsibilities upon adults to protect the health, safety and welfare of youth, adults and public

property of the Nation. It is the policy of the Nation to support substance abuse prevention

initiatives to minimize the opportunities of for minors to encounter harmful situations.

B. Jurisdiction [3 O.C. 308.4]

• Personal Jurisdiction. This Law applies to: 1) all members of the Nation and those eligible for

enrollment with the Nation, as well as members of other federally recognized tribes, 2)

individuals and their households who lease, occupy or otherwise use fee land or trust land owned

by the Nation or by individual members of the Nation; through consensual contract or other

agreement, 3) individuals who have consented to the jurisdiction of the Nation through other

consensual relationships with the Nation or Nation’s entities, corporations or members of the

Nation through contracts or agreements; and 4) any other facts that manifest consent to

jurisdiction consistent with federal law and policy including failure to object to the exercise of

personal jurisdiction in a timely manner.

i. In accordance with section 308.4-1(b), the Law applies to individuals and their

households who lease, rent, or occupy any home involved in a housing program

with the Nation’s Comprehensive Housing Division, including children who are

not enrolled or eligible for enrollment with the Nation or any other federally

recognized tribe. The Landlord-Tenant law requires all tenants of the Nation’s

housing programs to abide by the Nation’s laws [6 O.C. 611.6-3(b)(3)].

• Territorial Jurisdiction. This Law applies to the Reservation to all land owned by the Nation

and individual trust and/or fee land of a member of the Nation.

C. Curfew [3 O.C. 308.5]

• The curfew is established from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. for ages seventeen (17) years old or

younger in any public space either on foot or in a vehicle driven or parked within the boundaries

of the Reservation. No adult shall knowingly permit or fail to take action to prevent a minor to

be in a public space after curfew unless an exemption is met [3 O.C. 308.5-3].

i. Exemptions include common reasons minors would be out at night without the

presence of their parent, guardian, or legal custodian such as traveling home from

work, participating in cultural and sports activities chaperoned by an adult, and

traveling home from the movies; as well as a discretionary measure for OPD to

determine if the law has been violated or not.

• The map below demonstrates the curfew in the proposed Law is consistent with the curfew

established by municipalities surrounding the Reservation. Members of the Oneida Nation High

School Clan Council indicated during a work meeting that Oneida’s curfew should be similar to

area curfew laws for consistency purposes.

This is a map of the

with

curfew

currently in place. The

curfew timeframe of 10

p.m. to 6 a.m. in the

law

jurisdictions near the

Reservation.

• The

D. Enforcement of Curfew Violations [3 O.C. 308.6]

• Oneida Police Department (OPD) officers may stop any minor suspected of violating this law.

include a fine, mandatory or voluntary community service, mandatory parenting

program, mandatory family counseling, or any other penalty at the discretion of

June 13, 2019 Legislative Operating Committee E-Poll

Approval of the Curfew Law Fiscal Impact Statement Request

Memorandum to the Finance Department

Good Morning Legislative Operating Committee,

This e-mail serves as the e-poll for approval of the Curfew law fiscal impact statement request

memorandum to the Finance Department, and accompanying updated draft and legislative analysis.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Legislative Operating Committee is currently developing a Curfew law. The Legislative Procedures Act

requires that a fiscal impact statement be provided for all proposed legislation of the Nation. [1 O.C. 109.61]. The fiscal impact statement is an estimate of the total fiscal year financial effects associated with the

proposed legislation, and can include: startup costs, personnel, office costs, documentation costs, and an

estimate of the amount of time necessary for an individual or agency to comply with the law after

implementation. [1 O.C. 109.3-1(c)].

The Legislative Procedures Act states that the fiscal impact statement should be included in the materials

for a public meeting on the proposed legislation, if available. [1 O.C. 109.8-2]. In an effort to provide the

community with all relevant information regarding the Curfew law for the discussion during the public

meeting and public comment period, the Legislative Operating Committee decided to make an effort to

provide the fiscal impact statement for this public meeting.

The Legislative Procedures Act grants the Legislative Operating Committee the authority to direct the

Finance Department or any agency who may administer a program if the legislation is enacted or may

have financial information concerning the subject matter of the legislation to submit a fiscal impact

statement. [1 O.C. 109.6-1]. For the proposed Curfew law, the Legislative Operating Committee is

directing the Finance Department to provide a fiscal impact statement.

An e-poll is necessary for this matter because the Legislative Operating Committee wishes to provide the

Finance Department the maximum amount of time possible to complete the fiscal impact statement so

that the fiscal impact statement can be made available for the public meeting for the Curfew law on the

tentative date of July 18, 2019. The next Legislative Operating Committee meeting is not scheduled until

June 19, 2019, and the Legislative Operating Committee wishes to provide the Finance Department this

request for a fiscal impact statement sooner.

Curfew Law Fiscal Impact Statement

CJC�

.....--,.

The Legislative Operating Committee (LOC) is cunently developing a Curfew law. The

Legislative Procedures Act requires that a fiscal impact statement be provided for all proposed

legislation of the Nation. [l O.C. 109.6-1]. The fiscal impact statement is an estimate of the total

fiscal year financial effects associated with the proposed legislation, and can include:

• startup costs;

• personnel;

• office costs;

• documentation costs; and

• an estimate of the amount of time necessary for an individual or agency to comply with the

law after implementation. [l O.C. 109.3-l(c)].

The fiscal impact statement must be completed and submitted to the LOC prior to the proposed

legislation being forwarded to the Oneida Business Committee for consideration. [1 0. C. 109. 62]. The fiscal impact statement provides the Oneida Business Committee information on what the

potential adoption of the proposed legislation will cost the Nation, so that the Oneida Business

Committee can determine if adoption of the proposed legislation is in the best interest of the

Nation.

The Legislative Procedures Act grants the LOC the authority to direct the Finance Depaiiment or

any agency who may administer a program if the legislation is enacted or may have financial

information concerning the subject matter of the legislation to submit a fiscal impact statement. [l

O.C. 109.6-1]. For the proposed Curfew law, the LOC is directing the Finance Depaiiment to

provide a fiscal impact statement by July 18, 2019.

A copy of the proposed Curfew law, as well as the legislative analysis, have been attached to this

memorandum for your convenience.

Requested Action

Provide the LOC a fiscal impact statement of the proposed Curfew law by July 18, 2019.

The Tribal Action Plan (TAP) Laws and Policy Subcommittee recommended the

Legislative Operating Committee (LOC) draft a curfew law to protect the safety of

youth in the community, as well as provide accountability to both youth and parents

through consequences that reflect the circumstances and needs of the community.

The Curfew law (“Law”) will protect the health, safety and welfare of persons and

property on the Reservation by restricting access to public spaces by minors during

certain night time and early morning hours.

To protect the health, safety, and welfare of persons and property within the

Reservation by regulating the activities of minors on the Reservation during certain

hours, while imposing certain obligations and responsibilities upon the parents,

guardians, and/or legal custodians of minors for the control and supervision of

minors [3 O.C. 308.1-1].

Oneida Police Department (OPD) and Oneida Judiciary

Family Court law, Per Capita law, Garnishment law, Rules of Appellate Procedure,

Family Court Rules, Oneida Judiciary Rules of Evidence, Oneida Judiciary Rules

of Civil Procedure, Landlord-Tenant law

The OPD will enforce suspected violations of this Law by issuing warnings and

citations [3 O.C. 308.6].

Citations issued result in a mandatory appearance at a citation pre-hearing for both

the minor and his or her parent, guardian, or legal custodian.

• The Family Court may issue conditional orders as well as penalties that

include fines, community service, mandatory participation in family

counseling or parenting programs, and any other penalty the Family Court

deems appropriate [3 O.C. 308.6-3(a) and (c)].

A citation for a violation of this Law shall be processed in accordance with the

procedure contained in the Nation’s laws and policies governing citations [3 O.C.

308.6-3(b)].

A public meeting has not yet been held.

A fiscal impact statement prepared in accordance with the Legislative Procedures

Act has not yet been requested.

SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENT

A. Background. The Nation does not currently have a law establishing a curfew governing minors in

public spaces during certain night time and early morning hours. This Curfew law was requested by

the Tribal Action Plan (TAP) Laws and Policy Subcommittee which included input from a cross

functional core team that included representatives from the Oneida Business Committee (OBC), Oneida

Police Department, Governmental Services Division, Oneida Gaming Commission, Oneida Family

Support Services, Legislative Operating Committee, Legislative Reference Office (LRO), Oneida

Human Resources Department and Retail Division. This team concluded that a curfew law would help

curtail opportunities for minors to be influenced by drugs by limiting their presence in public spaces

within the community during certain hours, including night time and early morning, without the

presence of a parent, guardian, or legal custodian.

Outreach Efforts

Outreach with the community was held during the Community Budget Session on November 30,

2018 where the LOC had an opportunity to collect input from participants by asking them to share their

ideas about new laws, amendments to existing laws or anything else they wanted to share. Participants

indicated the need for a curfew law for the Reservation [LOC FY19 First Quarter Report].

Additionally; a community outreach event was held on March 21, 2019 at the Norbert Hill Center

cafeteria from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. to collect input from the community. No members of the

community participated in this event.

Related Research

Research regarding curfew laws revealed that the most common goals of a curfew law are to 1)

protect children from becoming victims or perpetrators of crimes, 2) assist parents in exercising their

responsibility over minors, and 3) prevent all persons from the dangers posed by unsupervised minors

who are out late at night and in the early morning hours. Research indicates that curfew laws may

protect youth from victimization and prevent juvenile crimes and delinquency by reducing or

preventing exposure of youth to negative situations by restricting their access to public spaces at night

and early morning hours [Grossman & Martin, 2015]. Although some research has indicated that most

crimes involving minors take place during after school hours rather than late at night or early morning

hours [Meyers, 2016]; the goal of this legislation within the Oneida Reservation is to keep minors safe

and accounted for during curfew hours.

According to the Office of Juvenile and Delinquency Prevention; the following contribute to the

successful implementation of curfew policies:

o Community involvement;

o Creating specific procedures for repeat offenders such as recreational, educational, and job

opportunities as well as antidrug and antigang programs;

o Providing a hotline for community questions or problems related to curfews or juvenile

delinquency in general; and

o Providing intervention services for juveniles and their families.

B. Previous Attempts to Implement a Curfew. The LOC has considered a law that included a curfew in

the past. A curfew provision was considered in a Public Nuisances law drafted by the LOC in 2010;

however, this law was not completed or adopted.

• Previous attempts at regulating minors through a curfew that were not legislative include a curfew

requirement of 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. that was included in previous Oneida Housing Authority

tenant leases. This provision is not in current leases [Email Communication 05/03/2019, Scott

Denny, Residential Rentals & Outreach Area Manager, Oneida Comprehensive Housing

Division].

C. Expected Benefits. The purpose of this legislation is to provide a clear timeframe that minors must be

out of public spaces and accounted for by their parents, guardians or legal custodians. Members of the

Oneida Nation High School Clan Council indicated that a curfew law may help to prevent teens from

partying, staying out late and engaging in other bad behaviors; as well as helping with responsibility,

encouraging youth to stay out of trouble and encouraging safety and school attendance. A curfew law

provides a means for parents to enforce a curfew with their children to provide an additional measure

of safety, accountability, obligation and responsibility to both the Nation’s minors and adults

[McDowall, Loftin & Wiersema, 2009]. A curfew law provides OPD with a means to engage with

suspected minors during curfew hours to tell them to go home and to encourage adult supervision of

minors during curfew hours. OPD has expressed that the goal is to keep minors safe and to prevent

vandalized property, arson, graffiti, petty theft and drug issues.

SECTION 3. CONSULTATION AND OUTREACH

A. Departments and Groups. The following departments and groups participated in the development of

this Law:

1. Oneida Police Department; and

2. Members of the Oneida Nation High School Clan Council.

B. Laws of the Nation. The drafting of this legislative analysis included a review of the following laws of

the Nation: Family Court law, Family Court Rules, Rules of Appellate Procedure, Oneida Judiciary

Rules of Evidence, and Oneida Judiciary Rules of Civil Procedure, Per Capita law, Garnishment law,

Public Use of Tribal Lands law, and Landlord-Tenant law.

C. Area and Tribal Laws. The following curfew laws from surrounding municipalities and other tribal

communities were reviewed. The chart provides a breakdown of the ages and curfew time frames the

laws apply to.

*The State of Wisconsin, Outagamie County and Town of Oneida do not have curfew laws in place.

D. Data. A memorandum from the TAP Laws and Policy Subcommittee suggested that data related to

police interactions with youth ages seventeen (17) years and younger be requested from the Oneida

Police Department and other neighboring jurisdictions to provide a background for juvenile activity in

the area.

1. The Oneida Police Department does not currently enforce any curfew laws. The following is

a breakdown of juvenile related calls received by the Oneida Police Department in 2018 [Email

communication 05/06/2019, Eric Boulanger, Chief of Police, Oneida Police Department].

Page 3 of 10

37 of 51

Analysis to Draft 2

2019 06 19

There were a total of eighty-eight (88) juvenile

related calls in 2018 received by the Oneida

Police Department. Sixteen (16) of those calls

occurred between the hours of the proposed

curfew timeframe of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

81

82

83

84

2. The City of Green Bay has issued the following citations related to curfew violations from

2010 to 2018 [Email communication 05/03/2019, Michelle Belongie, Crime Analyst, Green

Bay Police Department].

Curfew violations range from ninety-five (95)

to three hundred twenty-one (321) per year.

• Curfew applies to minors under seventeen

(17) years of age.

• The curfew does not apply to seventeen (17)

year old minors because under Wisconsin’s

juvenile justice code, seventeen (17) year olds

are tried as adults for all crimes [Walsh, T.J.,

Wisconsin Lawyer]. Seventeen (17) year old

minors are considered to be contributing to

curfew violations of minors under seventeen

(17).

*The LOC has determined that the law will apply to minors seventeen (17) years of age or younger. Parent, guardians

and legal custodians are responsible for minor’s actions until they reach eighteen (18) years of age and become legally

competent adults. The law places the discretion with OPD to determine in each individual instance whether the Curfew

law has been violated and whether to issue a citation.

SECTION 4. PROCESS

A. Below is a diagram of the legislative process contained in the Legislative Procedures Act [1 O.C. 109]

with some additional useful information. The LOC has reviewed the proposed Curfew law and

legislative analysis and is currently at the stage of requesting a public meeting be held and a fiscal impact

statement developed by the Finance Office.

further consideration.

Community Outreach Event March 21, 2019

March 21, 2019

The LOC hosted a community pot luck to discuss a Curfew

Law. While the community expressed interest in the event,

no one attended the meeting. This highlights how

collecting public comment is difficult.

SECTION 5. CONTENTS OF THE LEGISLATION

A. Purpose and Policy [3 O.C. 308.1]

• The purpose of the Law is to restrict access to public spaces by minors not accompanied by

certain adults during established night and early morning hours, while imposing obligations and

responsibilities upon adults to protect the health, safety and welfare of youth, adults and public

property of the Nation. It is the policy of the Nation to support substance abuse prevention

initiatives to minimize the opportunities of for minors to encounter harmful situations.

B. Jurisdiction [3 O.C. 308.4]

• Personal Jurisdiction. This Law applies to: 1) all members of the Nation and those eligible for

enrollment with the Nation, as well as members of other federally recognized tribes, 2)

individuals and their households who lease, occupy or otherwise use fee land or trust land owned

by the Nation or by individual members of the Nation; through consensual contract or other

agreement, 3) individuals who have consented to the jurisdiction of the Nation through other

consensual relationships with the Nation or Nation’s entities, corporations or members of the

Nation through contracts or agreements; and 4) any other facts that manifest consent to

jurisdiction consistent with federal law and policy including failure to object to the exercise of

personal jurisdiction in a timely manner.

i. In accordance with section 308.4-1(b), the Law applies to individuals and their

households who lease, rent, or occupy any home involved in a housing program

with the Nation’s Comprehensive Housing Division, including children who are

not enrolled or eligible for enrollment with the Nation or any other federally

recognized tribe. The Landlord-Tenant law requires all tenants of the Nation’s

housing programs to abide by the Nation’s laws [6 O.C. 611.6-3(b)(3)].

• Territorial Jurisdiction. This Law applies to the Reservation to all land owned by the Nation

and individual trust and/or fee land of a member of the Nation.

C. Curfew [3 O.C. 308.5]

• The curfew is established from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. for ages seventeen (17) years old or

younger in any public space either on foot or in a vehicle driven or parked within the boundaries

of the Reservation. No adult shall knowingly permit or fail to take action to prevent a minor to

be in a public space after curfew unless an exemption is met [3 O.C. 308.5-3].

i. Exemptions include common reasons minors would be out at night without the

presence of their parent, guardian, or legal custodian such as traveling home from

work, participating in cultural and sports activities chaperoned by an adult, and

traveling home from the movies; as well as a discretionary measure for OPD to

determine if the law has been violated or not.

• The map below demonstrates the curfew in the proposed Law is consistent with the curfew

established by municipalities surrounding the Reservation. Members of the Oneida Nation High

School Clan Council indicated during a work meeting that Oneida’s curfew should be similar to

area curfew laws for consistency purposes.

This is a map of the

D. Enforcement of Curfew Violations [3 O.C. 308.6]

• Oneida Police Department (OPD) officers may stop any minor suspected of violating this law.

OPD must ask, and the minor must provide, their name, age and reason for violating curfew. If

an OPD officer believes the Curfew law has been violated; the officer may take the minor into

custody and contact their parents, guardian or legal custodian to return the minor to their care

and custody. If the OPD officer cannot locate a parent, guardian or legal custodian, they may

find and release the child to an adult relative or other responsible adult willing and able to accept

the care and custody of the minor.

i. The first time a minor is taken into custody results in a warning by OPD to both

the minor and the minor’s parent, guardian or legal custodian advising them of the

law and informing them that any additional violations of the curfew law may result

in a fine, community service, mandatory parenting program, mandatory family

counseling, or other penalties at the discretion of the Family Court [3 O.C. 308.62].

ii. Subsequent curfew violations that result in a minor being taken into custody by

OPD may result in the issuance of a citation which will require the attendance of

the minor and their parent, guardian, or legal custodian at a mandatory pre-hearing

with the Family Court. Additionally; subsequent violations of the Curfew law may

include a fine, mandatory or voluntary community service, mandatory parenting

program, mandatory family counseling, or any other penalty at the discretion of

the Family Court, as well as any conditional orders made by the Family Court [3

O.C. 308.6-3].

iii. The Family Court may issue conditional orders at the mandatory pre-hearing until

the matter is resolved [3 O.C. 308.6-3(a)].

E. Penalties of Curfew Violations [3.O.C. 308.7]

• The following penalties may be issued to those that violate the law; focusing on specific

programs that aim to improve family dynamics and parenting; at the discretion of Family Court:

i. Fines (community service may be a substitute for all or part of fines at the

discretion of the Family Court);

1. The Law contains detailed procedures related to fines issued under this

Law [3 O.C. 308.7-1(a)]. More detail is provided in Section 7 of this

analysis.

ii. Community service;

1. The Law contains detailed procedures related to community service

requirements [3 O.C. 308.7-1(b)]. More detail is provided in Section 7

of this analysis.

iii. Family counseling;

iv. Parenting programs; and/or

v. Any other penalty deemed appropriate by the Family Court.

SECTION 6. EFFECT ON EXISTING LEGISLATION

A. References to Other Laws. The following laws of the Nation are referenced in this law and are required

misconduct would either go unpunished or would result in a penalty that might be considered too

extreme for a particular violation.
