Operative words
WHEREAS, although the State of Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling does not have jurisdiction over the sovereign Ho-Chunk Nation and its operations, the rest of the Wisconsin tourism industry is open for business and the Ho-Chunk Nation President has carefully mandated safety precautions for the Ho-Chunk Nation operations prior to opening... The President of the Ho-Chunk Nation, in consultation with advisors and providing notice to the National Indian Gaming Commission, deems that with enhanced protective measures, it is safe to resume casino operations of the Ho-Chunk Nation. Such facility openings will be staggered to ensure that safety measures and protocols are addressed prior to the opening of each facility. The following Administrative Orders are hereby lifted by the Ho-Chunk Nation President: Administrative Order March 17, 2020-1 (addressing First Gaming Closure) Administrative Order April 3, 2020-1 (addressing Gaming Facility Closures)
Enforcement
Presidential order; reopening contingent on safety measures and protocols
Notes
States in terms that the Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision (Wisconsin Legislature v. Palm, May 13, 2020) had no jurisdiction over the Nation: the tribal closure continued after the State's order fell
