Last month, the House and Senate passed concurrent budget resolutions, setting up the next step in the reconciliation process. Lawmakers are now determining what will be included in the reconciliation package.
NAFOA will monitor the markup activity across congressional committees and provide insights on developments that may impact Tribes as information becomes available.
The table below outlines Congress’s current progress on the budget reconciliation process. It includes links to House committee markup hearings, the current status of markup texts, and additional relevant resources. No markups are scheduled for Senate Committees at this time.
✅= Approved
Much of the markup activity is centered on advancing the President’s stated agenda on energy, defense, immigration, and government efficiency. Tribes may take particular interest in proposals that impact the use of public lands. Tribes must insist that the Administration continue Tribal Consultation on energy initiatives and the use of public lands, especially for those Tribes engaged in energy projects or whose Tribal lands are impacted by decisions regarding the use of public lands. Other proposals could affect higher education, veterans affairs, housing, transportation, and the workforce. NAFOA encourages Tribes to continue to follow information provided by NAFOA and our partner Tribal Organizations for more in-depth analysis and calls to action.
