The proposal would shift some administrative duties related to tribal business and regulatory matters from their current handlers to the Secretary of the Interior, the federal official who oversees Native American affairs and tribal lands. This change would affect how Native American tribes manage their business development and regulatory processes, potentially streamlining decision-making by centralizing these responsibilities within the Interior Department. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Natural Resources.
