Marginal note:Expenditure not authorized by law

 Despite subsection 13(2), a first nation is authorized to make an expenditure of local revenues other than under the authority of a law made under paragraph 5(1)(b) in one of the following circumstances:

  • (a) in the case where no law has already been made under that paragraph establishing a budget for the year in which that expenditure is made, the first nation, after making that expenditure, makes a law under that paragraph that authorizes the making of that expenditure; or

  • (b) in the case where a law has already been made under that paragraph establishing a budget for the year in which that expenditure is made, the first nation is satisfied that the making of that expenditure constitutes an urgent measure and the first nation, as soon as feasible after making the expenditure, amends that law to authorize the making of that expenditure.
