What it does
The Native Arts and Culture Promotion Act amends the American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian Culture and Art Development Act to remove the word "private" from subsection (a) and revise requirements for grants related to Native Hawaiian art and culture. Specifically, it mandates that the governing board for such grants include Native Hawaiians and individuals widely recognized in the field of Native Hawaiian art and culture and serve fixed terms, while also adjusting the structure of paragraph (c)(3) by removing subparagraph (B) and redesignating subparagraph (C) as (B). The bill affects Native Hawaiian arts and cultural programs by changing board composition and term requirements for grant administration. It was introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce.
