Indian Programs Advance Appropriations Act of 2025

This bill would require that yearly funding bills for certain Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Indian Education, and Indian Health Service accounts also include funding for the following fiscal year, starting with fiscal year 2026. Covered accounts include operation of Indian programs and education programs, contract support costs, construction, tribal lease payments, the Indian Guaranteed Loan Program, and Indian health services and facilities. The responsible Secretaries would have to send Congress estimates of next-year funding needs with the President's budget. They would also have to submit a yearly report by July 31, prepared in consultation with Indian Tribes, on whether resources are sufficient for the coming fiscal year.
