Native Arts and Culture Promotion Act
S 4886, the Native Arts and Culture Promotion Act, amends the American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian Culture and Art Development Act to change governance requirements for Native Hawaiian art grants. It removes the word "private" from existing provisions and modifies Section 1521(c) to require governing boards for Native Hawaiian grants to include Native Hawaiians and recognized cultural experts, with members serving fixed terms. This change directly affects the administration of current federal grants supporting Native Hawaiian art and culture programs. The bill makes no new funding provisions but adjusts how grant oversight boards are structured. It is a procedural amendment to an existing law, not a new policy initiative.
