It includes two main titles - one to provide loans and incentives for economic development projects, and another to revive and expand a grant program for opening or expanding businesses. The bill aims to address the economic deprivation and high unemployment rates among Native Americans. The Office of Management and Budget has advised that the proposal is in line with the Presidents program.
