Less Bureaucracy, Better Tribal Education Act

The Less Bureaucracy, Better Tribal Education Act transfers federal programs and funding for tribal education and job training from the Department of Education to the Department of the Interior. This shift includes specific initiatives such as grants for American Indian and Alaska Native children, language preservation programs, and career and technical education support for Native-serving institutions. The bill also mandates that the Secretary of Education consult with Indian Tribes within six months of enactment before the transfer takes effect one year later. Additionally, the law ensures that existing contracts, grants, and legal proceedings continue without interruption during the transition period.
