Current through July 10, 2024
At the time a representative of a tribal organization
					 requests to be seated at the Council, or any time thereafter, a member of the
					 tribe for which the representative was selected, or any person aggrieved by an
					 action of this Council, may challenge the authority of the tribal organization
					 seeking to be seated to represent the tribe, or the validity of the process by
					 which the representative of the tribe was selected. Upon receipt of such a
					 challenge, the Council shall set a date for a hearing to be held and conducted
					 in the same manner as hearings on contested applications for recognition of
					 Indian status under these regulations. No representative shall take part in
					 proceedings of the Council while under challenge. The burden of proof shall be
					 on the challenger. If the Council determines that the tribal organization
					 represents the tribe and that the challenged representative has been properly
					 selected by the tribal organization, the Council will not entertain further
					 challenges to the tribal organization or its representative except on a showing
					 of substantial evidence different from that heard by the Council at the first
					 challenge hearing. The burden shall be upon the challenging party to show, by
					 affidavit or document any evidence, that new evidence warrants a hearing on any
					 subsequent challenge.
The Commissioner of Environmental Protection may, and in
					 the event that more than one member are challenged simultaneously shall,
					 designate one or more additional persons, who shall be Indians within the
					 meaning of Sections 47-59a  to 47-66  of the General Statutes, as amended, and
					 not members of the tribal organization under challenge, to sit on the Council
					 for purposes of hearing and determining the challenges. The panel shall consist
					 of not less than seven persons, including the Council members whose credentials
					 have not been challenged.
