S 3270 United States Senate · 118th Congress

REACH Our Tribes Act

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish a formal annual consultation process with Tribal Governments on budget requests and multi-year farm bill reauthorizations. It mandates that USDA provide 30 days' notice before consultations, develop a reporting mechanism for consultation outcomes, and submit a detailed report to Congress within 12 months. The bill also directs USDA to create a public repository of federal economic development programs for Tribal entities (including tribes, 1994 Institutions, and urban Indian organizations) and form an interagency task force to streamline application processes across agencies. These provisions aim to improve tribal engagement in USDA budgeting and increase access to economic development programs.
