This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of House Bill 134 adds a new section outlining the establishment of a "Tribal Education Trust Fund Disbursement Formula Task Force" while removing the mention of appropriations. This change highlights a shift towards focusing on how funds will be distributed rather than allocating specific financial resources upfront. This matters because it allows for a more strategic approach in managing the trust fund, ensuring that the distribution methods are tailored to meet the needs of tribal education effectively.
