On March 12, 2020, Chairman Tehassi Hill signed a “Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency” regarding COVID-19 which declared a Public Health State of Emergency for the Nation until April 12, 2020, and set into place the Page 1 of 7 5 of 13 July 2020 – September 2020 Legislative Operating Committee FY20 Fourth Quarter Report necessary authority for action to be taken and allows the Nation to seek reimbursement of emergency management actions that may result in unexpected expenses. The Public Health State of Emergency has since been extended until November 13, 2020, through the adoption of resolutions BC-03-28-20-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, and BC-10-08-20-A. As the Nation continued to respond to this public health crisis, it became clear that laws would require emergency amendments in order to protect and maintain the public’s health, safety, and general welfare. The Legislative Operating Committee (LOC) brought forward the following laws for emergency action during the FY20 Fourth Quarter: Emergency Adoption of the Oneida General Welfare Law The purpose of the Oneida General Welfare law is to assist eligible members of the Nation on a non-taxable basis, pursuant to the principles of the General Welfare Exclusion to Indian Tribal governmental programs that provide benefits to Tribal members. Emergency adoption of the Oneida General Welfare law was sought to:  Provide a framework and guidelines for the Nation to establish and operate approved programs which provide assistance to eligible members of the Nation to promote the general welfare of the Nation, including programs designed to enhance the promotion of health, education, self-sufficiency, self-determination, and the maintenance of culture and tradition, entrepreneurship, and employment. The Oneida Business Committee adopted this law on an emergency basis on August 12, 2020, through resolution BC-08-12-20-D. The emergency adoption of this law will expire on February 12, 2021, with an opportunity for a six (6) month extension. Emergency Adoption of the Oneida Higher Education Pandemic Relief Fund Law The Oneida Higher Education Pandemic Relief Fund law creates the Oneida Higher Education Pandemic Relief Fund which assists eligible members of the Nation enrolled as students in higher education institutions for the 2020 Fall Term. Emergency adoption of the Oneida Higher Education Pandemic Relief Fund law was sought to:  Provide the guidelines and requirements for use of the Oneida Higher Education Pandemic Relief Fund;  Describe the presumption of need and the General Test to be used to determine General Welfare Exclusion; and  Provide that the Nation allocate funds to the Oneida Higher Education Pandemic Relief Fund only from monies it received pursuant to the Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF), and that this program is dependent on availability of funding from the CRF. The Oneida Business Committee adopted this law on an emergency basis on August 12, 2020, through resolution BC-08-12-20-E. The emergency adoption of this law was set to expire on February 12, 2021, with an opportunity for a six (6) month extension. Emergency Amendments to the Oneida Higher Education Pandemic Relief Fund Law After the Oneida Higher Education Pandemic Relief Fund law was adopted by the Oneida Business Committee on an emergency basis, emergency amendments to the law were sought to clarify the Page 2 of 7 6 of 13 July 2020 – September 2020 Legislative Operating Committee FY20 Fourth Quarter Report intent of the law and ensure proper effectuation of the law. Emergency amendments to the Oneida Higher Education Pandemic Relief Fund law was sought to:  Add a definition for the term “accredited;”  Revise the definition for “higher education institution” so it is clarified that the higher education institution must be accredited;  Include transportation costs in the definition for “room and board;” and  Clarify that all student expenses shall be paid directly to the student, whom shall be responsible for maintaining and submitting receipts or other proof of expenditures by December 15, 2020. The Oneida Business Committee adopted the emergency amendments on August 25, 2020, through resolution BC-08-25-20-A. The emergency amendments to this law will expire on February 25, 2021, with an opportunity for a six (6) month extension. Extension of the Emergency Amendments to the Emergency Management and Homeland Security Law Emergency amendments to the Emergency Management and Homeland Security law were adopted by the Oneida Business Committee through resolution BC-03-17-20-E for the purpose of creating and delegating authority to a COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team (COVID-19 Team). The emergency amendments to the law:  Created the COVID-19 Team;  Identified what positions of the Nation would serve on the COVID-19 Team;  Described the authority delegated to the COVID-19 Team to declare exceptions to any law, policy, procedure, regulation, or standard operating procedure of the Nation;  Provided for the duration of authority for exceptions declared by the COVID-19 Team; and  Described how the COVID-19 Team will make its declarations. The Oneida Business Committee extended the emergency amendments to the Emergency Management and Homeland Security law on August 26, 2020, through resolution BC-08-26-20A. A six (6) month extension of the emergency amendments to the law were adopted because the Nation is still experiencing the effects of the Public Health State of Emergency due to the COVID19 pandemic, and this provided the LOC additional time to process emergency amendments to the law. The emergency amendments will expire on March 17, 2021. Extension of the Emergency Amendments to the General Tribal Council Meeting Stipend Payment Policy Emergency amendments to the General Tribal Council Meeting Stipend Payment Policy were adopted by the Oneida Business Committee through resolution BC-04-08-20-A. The emergency amendments to the law:  Provided the Oneida Business Committee with authority to decide, through adoption of a resolution, to halt the payment of General Tribal Council meeting stipends to all eligible members for a period of time that the Oneida Business Committee deems necessary to protect and safeguard the resources and general welfare of the Nation. The Oneida Business Committee extended the emergency amendments to the General Tribal Council Meeting Stipend Payment Policy on September 23, 2020, through resolution BC-09-2320-B. A six (6) month extension of the emergency amendments to the law were adopted because the Nation is still experiencing the effects of the Public Health State of Emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the emergency amendments are consistent with resolution BC-04-08Page 3 of 7 7 of 13 July 2020 – September 2020 Legislative Operating Committee FY20 Fourth Quarter Report 20-F, which halts GTC meeting stipend payments for FY2020 and FY2021 based on the finding that the financial status of the Nation will continue to be under extreme stress such that, when GTC meetings are scheduled, it will not be possible to make $180,000 to $200,000 in stipend payments in the near future and still maintain governmental services. The emergency amendments will expire on April 8, 2021. FY20 Fourth Quarter Executive Summary- Non-COVID-19 Pandemic Related Matters The LOC brought forward the following laws for action during the FY20 Fourth Quarter: Extension of the Real Property Law Emergency Amendments Emergency amendments to the Real Property law were adopted by the Oneida Business Committee through resolution BC-01-22-20-B to allow the Comprehensive Housing Division, Oneida Land Commission, and Land Management the ability to develop a rule under the Law to address the acquisition of land. The delegation of rulemaking authority was sought to address land acquisitions due to the transparency and oversight the process of the Administrative Rulemaking law provides. The emergency amendments to the law:  Added a provision which provides that the Comprehensive Housing Division, Oneida Land Commission, and Land Management are delegated rulemaking authority as needed to exercise the authority granted and manage the responsibilities bestowed upon each area as identified in this law. The Oneida Business Committee extended the emergency amendments to the Real Property law on July 22, 2020, through resolution BC-07-22-20-A. A six (6) month extension of the emergency amendments to the Law was adopted to allow the Comprehensive Housing Division, Oneida Land Commission, and Land Management additional time to adopt a land acquisition rule, as well as additional time for the LOC to process the permanent amendments to the Law. The emergency amendments will expire on January 22, 2021. Boards, Committees, and Commissions Law Amendments The purpose of the Boards, Committees, and Commissions law is to govern boards, committees, and commissions of the Nation, including the procedures regarding the appointment and election of persons to boards, committees and commissions, creation of bylaws, maintenance of official records, compensation, and other items related to boards, committees and commissions. The Boards, Committees, and Commissions law was amended to:  Allow the Business Committee Support Office to repost a vacancy for an additional time period if insufficient applications are received, as long as notification is provided to the Oneida Business Committee;  Allow the Business Committee Support Office to request additional time from the Oneida Business Committee in compiling the applications, summary of qualifications, or results of any investigation;  Clarify a deadline for when a Chairperson of an entity may submit a recommendation for an appointment to the entity for the Oneida Business Committee’s consideration;  Allow for the oath of office to be taken at an alternative time and location other than during a regular or special Oneida Business Committee meeting as determined by the Secretary, as long as a quorum of the Oneida Business Committee is present to witness the oath;  Require that the entity’s bylaws provide how the entity shall approve purchases or travel Page 4 of 7 8 of 13 July 2020 – September 2020 Legislative Operating Committee FY20 Fourth Quarter Report on behalf of the entity, but clarify the Business Committee Support Office has budgetary sign off authority on behalf of the entity;  Reinstate the requirement that an entity audio record all meetings;  Clarify that only a member of an entity shall respond to e-polls;  Eliminate the requirement that a member of a board, committee, or commission be physically present during the entirety of a meeting or joint meeting in order to be eligible to receive a meeting stipend, but still require the member to be present and participate for the entire meeting through some means;  Address how technological issues during a meeting held through telecommunications is addressed and how it may affect a member’s eligibility for a meeting stipend;  Provide that meetings and joint meetings can occur in person, by telephone, through videoconferencing, or through other telecommunications;  Revise how the limitation of stipend eligible meetings is calculated;  Clarify how eligibility for a conference or training stipend is calculated;  Provide a deadline for a member to activate his or her e-mail address, and clarify when an ad hoc or alternate member of an entity must have an official e-mail address; and  Specify that certain positions within the Nation are ineligible to serve on a board, committee, or commission of the Nation due to the potential for a real or perceived conflict of interest to exist. The Oneida Business Committee adopted the proposed amendments to the Boards, Committees, and Commissions law on August 12, 2020, through resolution BC-08-12-20-B. The amendments to the Boards, Committees, and Commissions law became effective on August 26, 2020.
