submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-25-INDIANS · 29 words · no verdicts yet
The government won't pay claims for supplies bought for Native Americans if no law authorized the purchase. This applies to Office of Indian Affairs funds and any other Indian-related appropriations.
If someone buys supplies for Indians without legal authority to do so, the government will not pay any claim for those supplies. This applies whether the money would come from the appropriation for the expenses of the Office of Indian Affairs or from any other appropriation for Indians.
No claims for supplies for Indians, purchased without authority of law, shall be paid out of any appropriation for expenses of the Office of Indian Affairs, or for Indians.
