## Summary

**Advance appropriations for core Indian programs** would require key Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Indian Education, and Indian Health Service accounts to include budget authority for the following fiscal year in every annual appropriation, starting in fiscal year 2026. This creates a forward-year funding and reporting framework and adds tribal consultation and cost-indexing rules for health budgets. - Tribal governments and programs gain steadier funding signals because covered BIA accounts like Operation of Indian Programs, Contract Support Costs, Construction, and others must include advance budget authority for the next year. This aims to reduce year-to-year funding uncertainty for tribal operations. - Students and education administrators see forward-year estimates for Bureau of Indian Education accounts such as Operation of Indian Education Programs and Education Construction. Budget requests must cover both the budget year and the following fiscal year and include tribal consultation. - Patients and Indian Health Service managers get a forward-looking funding plan for IHS accounts and must factor inflation and population changes into health-service cost justifications. The Secretary must also submit annual July 31 reports with workload and demand data in consultation with tribes.
