Analysis of H. R. 10846: Apportionment of Funds for Shoshone Indian Tribes, 1968-06-19

H.R. 10846 authorizes the division of a $15,700,000 judgment among three groups of Shoshone Indians. It specifies the amounts to be credited to each group, how funds will be distributed, and exempts per capita distributions from federal and state income taxes. The bill also outlines the process for updating membership rolls and authorizes the issuance of rules and regulations. An amendment removed a provision that stated per capita payments would not be considered income for the Social Security Act.
