Discussion on June 15th at 10:00 a.m.
During Tribal Council Meeting
The Ponca Tribal Council will be proposing to amend Title XVI, Liquor Control of the Ponca Tribal Law and Order Code.
The proposed amendments will:
- Clarify the activities relating to liquor that are subject to licensing and regulation and activities that are allowed and not allowed as well as provide more consistent language on the activities regulated.
- Clarify who is subject to the Tribe’s liquor ordinance, who requires a liquor license, and what each type of liquor license allows.
- Allow the Liquor Board to set licensing fees, civil fine amounts, and similar monetary items rather than requiring amendments and BIA approval for changes in the future.
A complete copy of the proposed amendments is available at the tribal offices, or one may be obtained by contacting Jan Colwell, Tribal Council Executive Assistant at 402-857-3391, Ext. 402.
