TRIBAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT OBLIGATION

HB 239 appropriates $650,000 from the tribal infrastructure project fund to pay an unpaid contractor invoice (notice of obligation #3) for Tribal Infrastructure Project 23TIF11. The funds are for a prior-year obligation that was not paid, to be spent in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Any unused balance after 2027 will return to the tribal infrastructure project fund. This bill directly affects the contractor involved in project 23TIF11 by settling a specific unpaid payment. It does not create new infrastructure or policy, but resolves a past financial obligation.
