SRES 156 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.

SRES 156 is a Senate resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), signed into law on January 4, 1975. It recognizes how ISDEAA has enabled federally recognized tribes to administer federal programs - including healthcare, education, and public safety - for their communities, with 92% of tribes using its authorities as of 2024. The resolution is purely ceremonial and does not create new policy or alter existing law, instead affirming congressional support for tribal self-governance.
