What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill moves responsibilities related to education and job training for tribal communities from the Department of Education to the Department of the Interior. This includes programs for elementary, secondary, and higher education, as well as career and technical training and vocational rehabilitation for Native Americans. The bill also gets rid of two specific programs, one related to STEM education and one related to a memorial archives. The Office of Management and Budget must make sure the transfer doesn't increase the total number of employees at either department, and any ongoing legal cases or pending applications for benefits won't be affected by the change.
