Proposed amendment to
Enrollment Ordinance
The Tribal Council, in consultation with the Tribal Attorney's Office, has
proposed several amendments to the Enrollment Ordinance. The first read
ing of the amendments to the Tribal Court Ordinance was presented at the
August 18, 1999 Tribal Council Meeting.
The purpose of the amendments is to make technical corrections to various
provisions of the Ordinance and to make necessary substantive changes to
the Ordinance to update the Ordinance in light of the recent amendment to
the Tribal Constitution's enrollment provision. The numerous substantive
changes include, but are not limited to, amending the requirements for en
rollment, eliminating the use of affidavits and providing for the use of blood
tests to establish paternity, providing for appeal of enrollment determina
tions of the Enrollment Committee or Tribal Council to Tribal Court. The
Tribal Council believes amendment of this Ordinance will assist the Tribe in
continuing to provide efficient enrollment procedures to its members. '
For a copy of the proposed Ordinance amendments please contact the Tribal
Attorney's office at (503) 879-2265. Tribal Council invites comment on the
proposed amendments. Please send your comments to the Tribal Attorney's
Office, 9615 Grand Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, OR 97347. Comments must
be received by October 31, 1999.
