Native Arts and Culture Promotion Act
S 3375, the Native Arts and Culture Promotion Act, amends the American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian Culture and Art Development Act to improve governance for Native Hawaiian arts grants. It requires governing boards managing these grants to include Native Hawaiians and recognized experts in Native Hawaiian arts, and mandates fixed terms for board members. The bill also removes the word "private" from eligibility language and adds requirements for boards to "establish and maintain" grant programs. This directly affects entities receiving Native Hawaiian arts funding by changing how their oversight boards are structured and composed. The changes focus on ensuring cultural expertise and representation in grant administration.
