Cherokee Nation council approves FY2026 capital and operating budget measures, 17–0

The Cherokee Nation Executive Finance Committee unanimously approved two legislative acts affecting the FY2026 budgets.

Councilor Danny Callison moved to adopt Legislative Act 25-25, authorizing the comprehensive capital budget for fiscal year 2026 (mod 3) and declaring an emergency. The clerk conducted a roll call and the motion carried 17–0. Later in the agenda Counselor Legg introduced Legislative Act 26-25, amending the comprehensive operating budget for fiscal year 2026 and declaring an emergency; a roll call vote again produced a unanimous 17–0 result.

The meeting record shows both measures carried by unanimous recorded vote. The committee did not debate detailed line items on the floor during this session; the actions on both measures were recorded as emergency declarations and final passage before adjournment.

Motions were moved on the floor and a second was given in each case; the transcript does not specify who seconded the motions. The committee adjourned after routine announcements.
