Proceedings for the recovery of a civil remedial money penalty shall be instituted by the issuance of a citation by an enforcing officer. Whenever an enforcing officer has reasonable basis to believe that a person subject to tribal authority has committed a breach of a tribal ordinance which provides for a civil remedial money penalty, such officer shall issue a citation to such person, serve a copy of same as provided in Chapter 1.11 hereof, and file a copy with the tribal court. The issuance of a citation by an enforcing officer in connection with a breach of an ordinance is adequate process to give the tribal court jurisdiction over the person upon the filing with the court of such citation.
