## Summary

**Formal tribal budget consultation and interagency coordination**. This bill would require USDA to create an annual consultation process with Tribal Governments on USDA budget requests and multi‑year program reauthorizations. It would also build interagency tools and a public repository to boost Tribal access to federal economic development funding. - Tribal Governments: Mandates a formal consult process that must give at least 30 days notice and produce a report to Congress within 12 months describing the process and issues consulted on.
