in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior must set reasonable standards for approving tribal per-capita payments. Once approved under those standards, the United States is not liable for how the tribe distributes the funds. This law doesn't remove the government's other responsibilities to Indians, including trust and treaty duties.

(a) The Secretary of the Interior must create, by regulation, reasonable standards for approving payments a tribe makes under section 117a. Once a distribution is approved under those standards, the United States is not liable for how the tribe distributes the funds. (b) Nothing in sections 117a to 117c relieves the United States of any of its other duties to Indians. This includes duties that come from the government's trust relationship with tribes, and from any treaties, executive orders, or agreements between the United States and an Indian tribe.
