This bill would change the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989. It adds a new rule that lets the Puyallup Tribe withdraw amounts from the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Trust Fund. Withdrawals would be allowed under the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994 and only under a management plan the Secretary approves. The bill also adds a savings provision saying nothing in the 1989 Act stops the United States from working with the Tribe under any Federal law enacted after this Act on the same basis as other federally recognized tribes.
If you are a member of the Puyallup Tribe, this bill clarifies that the Tribe may withdraw money from its settlement trust fund if the Tribe follows a Secretary‑approved management plan under the 1994 Trust Fund Management Reform Act. If you are a tribal official, the bill makes clear a legal route for trust fund withdrawals tied to an approved management plan. If you are not part of the Tribe or a Federal official, no additional information is provided about direct effects on you.
