Bill > S3769

This bill, titled the Helping Our People Act of 2026, amends the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989 to clarify that the Puyallup Tribe of Indians can withdraw funds from the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Trust Fund. Specifically, it adds a provision allowing amounts in the trust fund to be withdrawn by the Tribe according to a management plan approved by the Secretary, as outlined in the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994, which governs how tribes manage their trust funds. Additionally, the bill includes a savings provision ensuring that this Act does not prevent the United States from interacting with the Tribe under any future federal law, on the same basis as other federally recognized Indian Tribes.
