On new business the committee introduced an "act amending Title 68 of the Cherokee Nation Code Annotated" and placed the item as a motion. A committee member noted a Scribner's error on page 12 in "section 13-54, subsection I." The committee then called the question and conducted a roll-call affirmation; the chair announced "Motion approved, 17."

The motion as recorded does not list a mover or seconder in the transcript. The committee recorded affirmative responses from members during the roll call, and the chair stated the item "will go to Rules this afternoon." No amendments were recorded during the committee discussion.

Because the motion will be considered by Rules, the committee’s action was a referral rather than final enactment; further committee or legislative steps will be required for any change to the Code.
