I noticed that an amendment needs to take place on the Native American portion of the law. There is a trend with Native American entities in the Midwestern states that are following Colorado's recent laws regarding recreational marijuana use on their facilities. While most of these entities are federally recognized the majority of the state recognized tribes in South Carolina are seeking Federal recognition. The SC Code of Laws Section 1-31-40 (A)(10) establishes that it is illegal to promote gaming with a state recognized tribe, but no law stipulating the illegal action with promoting recreational marijuana use with a state recognized tribe. I am attempting to work with most of the tribes in South Carolina regarding federal recognition, and I contacted your office when I started working with the Santee (Santé) Indian Tribe of South Carolina in 2011-12 as well. With a meeting scheduled with Chief Hatcher of the Waccamaw concerning the understanding of the federal petition process for them, and gathering the proper demographics and history. Of which, I do this strictly pro bono in preparations for law school next fall. I want the State of South Carolina to be prepared for this issue in the SC Statehouse. I have already contacted Rep. Chip Limehouse's office and Sen. Larry Grooms office concerning this matter as well. Sincerely, Glynndeavin Von Fox
