(1) The Natural Resources Committee may issue emergency gathering regulations whenever it gets information which indicates that the changes are necessary for proper management of resources in areas under the jurisdiction of the Tribe.

(2) Emergency regulations shall take effect as soon as they are adopted by the Natural Resources Committee or at the time specified in the regulations. They shall remain in effect until they are withdrawn by the Natural Resources Committee, lapse by their own terms, are no longer necessary, or are rejected by the Samish Tribal Council.

(3) All emergency regulations must be posted promptly at a public location in all Samish Tribal government offices and on the Tribe’s website and must indicate the date and hour they were adopted. No penalty shall be imposed for violation of an emergency regulation unless 24 hours have passed since the regulation was issued or unless the violator was served personally with a notice of the regulation before the violation occurred.
