Summary

Money can be set aside to carry out section 1805: $3,200,000 for fiscal year 2009 and whatever amounts are needed for each of the five succeeding fiscal years. Money can also be set aside for carrying out section 1807 and for sections 1812(b) and 1813 for fiscal year 2009 and for each of the five succeeding fiscal years. The Secretary of the Treasury must transfer these funds as quickly as possible, and each tribally controlled college or university will be its own certifying agency. To give proper notice about when money is available, amounts approved in a law for any fiscal year become available for use on July 1 of that fiscal year and stay available until September 30 of the succeeding fiscal year. To help switch to this timing, Congress may make two separate appropriations in the same fiscal year, and the first of those two does not have to follow the July 1 to September 30 timing.
