The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs hosts a business meeting on September 25, 2024.

Three items are on the agenda. They follow:

• S.465, the BADGES for Native Communities Act. The Bridging Agency Data Gaps & Ensuring Safety (BADGES) for Native Communities Act seeks to improve public safety in Indian Country by making changes affecting the Bureau of Indian Affairs and tribal nations. A hearing took place on May 1.

• S.2908, the Indian Buffalo Management Act. The bill establishes a permanent program at the Department of the Interior to help promote and develop tribal capacity to manage buffalo, or bison. A hearing took place on June 12.

• S.4370, the Tribal Forest Protection Act Amendments Act of 2024. The bill ensures that Alaska Native corporations can participate in stewardship of federal forest lands. It also addresses a requirement that has limited tribal participation on lands important to their communities. A hearing took place on July 25.

All three bills were approved by the committee. They can now be sent to the full U.S. Senate for further consideration.
