HR 8484 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Buy Indian Act to include the Secretary of Agriculture, and for other purposes.

This bill amends the Buy Indian Act to add the Secretary of Agriculture as a recipient of funds for purchasing goods from Native American producers. It updates the law to include the Department of Agriculture in funding provisions and committee oversight references (replacing "Committee on Indian Affairs" with relevant agriculture committees). The changes primarily affect federal procurement processes involving Native American businesses by expanding which departments administer the program. The bill makes administrative adjustments to the existing law without altering its core purpose.
