OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – A three-member arbitration panel ruled in favor of the governor’s office Friday in a dispute with two Oklahoma-based tribes about the state’s tobacco compact.

Steve Mullins, an attorney for Gov. Mary Fallin, said the unanimous rulings against the Absentee-Shawnee Tribe and the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes put the tribes on non-compact status for retail tobacco sales.

Without a compact in place, both tribes will only be able to sell a limited number of tax-free tobacco products to tribal citizens. All others must pay at the full tax rate.

“I am still committed to negotiating in good faith with both tribes on terms for new tobacco compacts,” Fallin said in a statement.

A message left with the Absentee-Shawnee Tribe was not immediately returned. The Wichita and Affiliated Tribes declined immediate comment.

The governor’s office started negotiating new tobacco compacts with most tribes earlier this year. Of the state’s 38 federally recognized tribes, 25 have agreed on new compacts.

A federal judge in Oklahoma City last month sided with the Comanche Nation and issued a temporary restraining order allowing the tribe to enjoy the same tobacco compact the state has with the Chickasaw Nation.
