The drinking age within the Yurok Reservation shall be the same as that of the state of California, which is currently 21 years. No person under the age of 21 years shall purchase, possess or consume any alcoholic beverage. At such time, if any, as California Business and Professions Code § 25658, which sets the drinking age for the state of California, is repealed or amended to raise or lower the drinking age within California, this chapter shall automatically become null and void, and the Tribal Council shall be empowered to amend this chapter to match the age limit imposed by state law, such amendment to become effective upon publication in the Federal Register by the Secretary of the Interior. [Ord. 6 Art. 7, adopted, 12/19/2003.]
