in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law requires giving hiring preference to Indians for certain jobs. It covers clerical, mechanical, and other help positions on reservations and at agencies. The preference applies whenever it's practical to do so.

This section requires that Indians be given preference, as far as practical, when reservations and agencies hire people for clerical, mechanical, and other help jobs. This preference applies at all times — it is a standing rule, not a one-time requirement — but only "as far as practicable," meaning it applies whenever doing so is realistically possible.
