Bill > S2908

This bill, the Indian Buffalo Management Act, aims to assist tribal governments in the management of buffalo and buffalo habitat, as well as the reestablishment of buffalo on Indian land. Key provisions include: establishing a program within the Department of the Interior to promote and develop tribal capacity to manage buffalo, authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to enter into contracts and provide grants to tribes for buffalo restoration and management activities, requiring consultation with tribes on initiatives affecting buffalo, and allowing the Secretary to transfer surplus federal buffalo to tribes. The bill also protects confidential tribal information and retains tribal treaty rights, and authorizes $14 million in annual appropriations to implement the Act.
