AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes federal law so that road grading is excluded from an existing limit on how Tribal transportation program funds can be spent, removing the cap that applied to road grading. Within 3 years, the Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, must study the effects of removing this limit. The study would look at how many Tribes spend large amounts on grading, miles of roads graded, changes in road conditions, effects on economic development, emergency response and community access, Tribal satisfaction, and employment of Tribal members. A report with results and recommendations must go to Congress within 2 years after the study is done.
