Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Code of Law.

MCC.1.6.280 Off-Duty Misconduct [Suspended]

Elected Officials shall not engage in off-duty misconduct which is deemed detrimental to the Tribe. While it is impossible to predict every detrimental situation, the Tribal Governing Board may determine that off-duty misconduct is adverse to the Tribe, because it is serious in nature; is at odds with an Elected Official's duties; or is notorious and has the potential to discredit the Tribe. Any arrest shall be reported to the Tribal Governing Board within 72 hours. Any arrest shall be subject to review by the Tribal Governing Board, and may include removal from office pursuant to Article III, § 7 of the Amended Constitution and Bylaws of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians depending on the determination and severity of the allegations leading to an arrest. An arrest and conviction related to misconduct shall be subject to removal from office pursuant to Article III, § 7 of the Amended Constitution and Bylaws of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians.
