Read the original

What it does

A (CR) is a stopgap law that keeps the federal government funded at current levels while full-year bills are negotiated. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Guidance is the set of government-wide rules that govern federal grants, so a delay in its overhaul would reach tribal governments and Native nonprofits that receive federal grants. The Senate measure would fund the government through December 11, 2026.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Indirect. It does not name tribes, but it changes a program or rule that tribal grantees use.

Who it covers: Tribal governments, Native nonprofits.

What to do next

  1. Track Senate and House action on the Continuing Act, 2027 and Section 157 before the funding period ends on 2026-12-11.
