Summary

Unspent money made available under section 13 for a given fiscal year must stay available for use in the next fiscal year if it was not committed or spent before that next year began. If a tribal organization gets money under a self‑determination contract, and it will use those funds in the next fiscal year for the same original purpose or for purposes allowed under section 5325(a)(3), the tribe does not have to give the Secretary extra paperwork or justification to receive or spend the money.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any funds appropriated pursuant to section 13 of this title, for any fiscal year which are not obligated or expended prior to the beginning of the fiscal year succeeding the fiscal year for which such funds were appropriated shall remain available for obligation or expenditures during such succeeding fiscal year. In the case of amounts made available to a tribal organization under a self-determination contract, if the funds are to be expended in the succeeding fiscal year for the purpose for which they were originally appropriated, contracted or granted, or for which they are authorized to be used pursuant to the provisions of section 5325(a)(3) of this title, no additional justification or documentation of such purposes need be provided by the tribal organization to the Secretary as a condition of receiving or expending such funds.
