NACIE Improvement Act
S 749 (NACIE Improvement Act) requires the President to add at least one Tribal College or University president to the National Advisory Council on Indian Education (NACIE) within 180 days of enactment. It mandates that NACIE’s annual report be shared with the Secretaries of Education and Interior by June 30 each year. Both departments must then consider this report when preparing their federal budget proposals. This directly affects Tribal Colleges through membership inclusion and influences federal education funding decisions via budget considerations.
