Tribal Code Development Checklist for Implementation of Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction

Tribal Code Development Checklist for Implementation of Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction
Tribal Code Development Checklist for Implementation of Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction

This checklist (click to download) is designed as a tool to assist tribal governments seeking to develop tribal codes that implement special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction (SDVCJ) under section 904 of VAWA 2013.

Tribal governments will likely be amending existing criminal codes, and every tribe faces different circumstances, so tribes will need to work with an attorney to develop codes that are tailored to their unique needs. This checklist includes citations to existing tribal codes addressing provisions of the new law (Pascua Yaqui Tribal Codes; Umatilla Criminal Code; Tulalip Tribes; Eastern Band Cherokee).
