This law lets money from an Indian Appropriation Act become available right away for buying and shipping supplies. But the goods themselves can't be delivered before that fiscal year starts.

Each year's Indian Appropriation Act sets aside money to buy goods and supplies for that fiscal year, to cover the costs of purchasing them, and to pay for transporting them. As soon as the President approves that Act, this money becomes available right away — it does not have to wait for the fiscal year to begin. But there is a limit on the goods themselves: none of the goods or supplies bought with this money may actually be distributed or delivered to the Indians they are meant for before that fiscal year begins.

So much of the appropriations of any annual Indian Appropriation Act as may be required to pay for goods and supplies, for expenses incident to their purchase, and for transportation of the same, for the fiscal year for which such appropriations are made, shall be immediately available, upon the approval of such Act, but no such goods or supplies shall be distributed or delivered to any of said Indians prior to the beginning of such fiscal year.
