Native American Tourism and Visitor Experience Act

YourVoice.Now Summary

Up to $35 million in tourism grants for tribes and Native Hawaiian groups — most households would see no change.

The details

Most people would see no change in daily life. The money would go to tribal governments and Native Hawaiian groups, not to households. Congress would allow up to $35 million for these grants for the budget years 2025 through 2029. Lawmakers would still have to approve the actual spending later. Tribes, tribal groups, and Native Hawaiian groups could apply for tourism grants. The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Office of Native Hawaiian Relations could hand out the money. Other agencies could too, such as Labor, Transportation, and Agriculture. The grants would pay for travel and tourism work in Native communities. Each agency could choose to give these grants, but none would have to.

Like reading a bill in plain English?

We're building an app that does this for every bill in Congress and lets you tell your reps how you want them to vote. We're a small team getting ready to launch, and we're trying to show investors that real people want this. Be one of them. Help us get it built. Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment the app is ready.

By default, we'll only email you once — when the app launches. Unless you opt in below, you won't receive anything else. We don't share or sell your email.
