AN ACT to provide an appropriation for defraying the expenses of the Indian affairs commission.

This bill provides $1.2 million in state funding from the general fund to cover the Indian Affairs Commission's operating costs for the 2025-2027 biennium. The appropriation includes $949,000 for staff salaries and $268,000 for daily operations, supporting the commission's work with tribal nations.
