To amend the Crow Boundary Settlement Act of 1994 regarding the distribution of capital gains from the Crow Tribal Trust Fund.
Summary
H.R. 2979 would change how the Crow Tribe can access money from its specific Tribal Trust Fund, which was established to settle historical land boundary disputes. Under the original 1994 law, the tribe could only receive distributions from the interest earned on the fund; this bill would expand that access to include capital gains and other non-interest income. These additional funds would become available whenever the trust's balance exceeds $85 million and would be used for tribal purposes under the oversight of the Secretary of the Interior.
