Revised on 6/26/22
LAW AND ORDER CODE REVISION
Discussion on July 12, 2022 beginning at 9:00 a.m.
During Tribal Council Meeting
**** NOTICE: All Tribal Members****
The Ponca Tribal Council will be reviewing proposed amendments to the Law and Order Code. The revisions are being considered because the Tribal Council wants to provide the legal framework for organizing business entities in order to expand the business sector in the territory of the Tribe. Enacting all 4 codes at one time will ensure there is no gap or conflict in laws being in place to govern PEDCO and Osni.
There are changes being proposed to Titles 14, 15, and adding Titles 19 and 20. The revisions being considered include but are not limited to the following:
- Title 14 is a rewrite of the code that will govern all businesses, regardless of form.
- Title 15 is a rewrite of the LLC Code, removing the parts that should just apply to all business entities.
- Title 19 is a new Code that will govern “for profit” corporations
- Title 20 is a new Code that will govern “nonprofit” corporations
A complete copy of the proposed amendments is available at the tribal offices, or one may be obtained by contacting Jan Colwell, Tribal Council Secretary at 402-857-3391.
There will be a discussion by Tribal Council that is open for public comment on July 12, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as it may be heard. This date was changed from July 5 as the Tribal Council meeting scheduled for that day has been cancelled.
Written comments will be accepted until June 30, 2022. The written comments may be emailed to janc@poncatribe-ne.org or mailed to
