Fiscal Detail and Notes
Requiring 12% of Federal Block Grant funds be set aside for Indian nations, tribes and bands limits the amount of funding available for the purposes for which they are currently being used. If the remaining 88% of Federal Block Grant funds are not sufficient to accomplish those purposes, or the purposes and programs are not modified to acccount for a reduction in expenditures, General Fund appropriations may be needed to supplement the federal resources.
