What this amendment would do

SA 4782, submitted by Ms. Murkowski, aims to add a Tribal Identification Grant Program to the bill.

The purpose of this amendment is to change the bill by adding the following:

  • The Secretary of the Interior, using the Bureau of Indian Affairs, will start a program to give grants to federally recognized Indian Tribes.
  • These grants are for developing, enhancing, and issuing Tribal identification documents.
  • These documents must include the individual's name, a photograph, and an expiration date as decided by the issuing tribe.
  • The grants will be managed following the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.
  • The amendment appropriates $15,000,000 for fiscal year 2026, and these funds will stay available until they are spent.
