Lets the Puyallup Tribe withdraw money from its trust fund.
This bill would make it clear that the Puyallup Tribe of Indians can take money out of its special trust fund. This means the Tribe would have explicit legal permission to manage and use these funds. They must follow a plan approved by the Department of the Interior. It also ensures the Tribe can engage with the U.S. government like other federally recognized tribes in the future.
Currently, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989 doesn't clearly state that the Tribe can withdraw money from its Settlement Trust Fund. If this bill becomes law, the Tribe would be explicitly allowed to withdraw funds under a management plan approved by the Department of the Interior. It would also add a rule ensuring the U.S. government can engage with the Tribe like any other federally recognized tribe in the future.
