(a) The Treasury must hold an “Emergency Fund for Indian Safety and Health,” consisting of amounts appropriated under subsection (b). (b) $1,602,619,000 is authorized from otherwise unappropriated Treasury funds for the five years beginning October 1, 2008. Fund amounts need no further appropriation, supplement other lawful amounts, and remain available until spent. (c) At the request of the Attorney General or the Interior or Health and Human Services Secretary^*, the Treasury Secretary must transfer the amount that requester determines is needed for the emergency plan. (d) Required transfers must be made at least monthly from the Treasury general fund based on Treasury estimates, with later adjustments for over- or underestimates. (e) Amounts left on September 30 may be used in later fiscal years for the plan. (f) Within one year after July 30, 2008, the Attorney General and the Interior and Health and Human Services Secretaries, consulting Indian tribes as defined in the cited Act, must jointly establish a plan addressing tribal law-enforcement, water, and health-care needs. For each fiscal year 2010 through 2019, the Attorney General must use 18.5 percent for Federal Indian detention facilities; 1.5 percent to investigate and prosecute Indian-country crimes; 1.5 percent for the Office of Justice Programs’ Indian and Alaska Native programs; and 0.5 percent to assist parties to tribal-State or local cross-deputization or other cooperative law-enforcement agreements and Alaska’s Village Public Safety Officer Program and law enforcement on Alaska Native land. The Interior Secretary must put 15.5 percent in the Bureau of Indian Affairs public-safety and justice account for its Office of Justice Services, directly or through tribal contracts or compacts, and may use no more than $602,619,000 to implement congressionally approved Indian water settlements, including planning, designing, rehabilitating, constructing, or financing water-supply or delivery infrastructure serving a tribe. Acting through the Indian Health Service^* Director, the HHS Secretary must use 12.5 percent, directly or through tribal contracts or compacts, for contract health services, construction, rehabilitation, and replacement of Indian health facilities, and domestic and community sanitation facilities for tribal members under section 2004a of title 42.
