Washington, D.C. (Feb. 9, 2021)—On Friday, February 12, 2021, at 12:00 p.m. EST, Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, the Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, will hold a business meeting to consider legislation that will directly provide states, localities, Tribes, and territories with funding to fight the coronavirus pandemic and its devastating economic impacts.
“As our nation continues to combat the coronavirus pandemic, Congress must take bold, urgent action to confront this crisis and show the American people that help is on the way,” Chairwoman Maloney said. “This week, the Oversight and Reform Committee will consider legislation to provide direct funding to state and local governments striving to deliver critical services to struggling families and save the jobs of essential public servants like teachers, firefighters, and other first responders during the coronavirus pandemic.”
In addition to allocating $350 billion in funding to states, localities, Tribes, and territories, the Committee’s Fiscal Year 2021 Reconciliation Act provisions include $570 million for emergency leave for federal and postal workers, and $117 million for oversight entities to promote transparency and accountability of all federal coronavirus relief funds.

NAFOA is coordinating with several national organizations to convene a Tribal Leader Town Hall tomorrow Friday, February 12, 2021 at 3:00 EST to discuss the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package - which includes a proposed $20 billion tribal relief fund - that Congress is expected to pass next week using budget reconciliation rules.
"Reconciliation" is a process by which Congress can pass legislation with a simple majority. This process can be enacted once a fiscal year and is limited to items related to taxes, spending, and the debt limit. The narrow Democratic margins for controlling Congress make reconciliation the only available vehicle to pass more COVID-19 stimulus measures without Republican support.
The proposed legislation has several additional tribal provisions, a summary of these provisions can be found below. Further information including an agenda and speakers will be available Friday morning.
The Town Hall will be in a webinar format and will center around how the new legislation impacts tribal governance, health, and economic development. We will discuss the provisions that relate to Indian Country, and will also leave time for questions.
Tribal Provisions from the Proposed Legislation Include:

Native News Online is hosting a Native-centered live stream on Zoom via Facebook Live on February 25. The program is designed to create vaccination awareness and vaccine hesitancy in Indian Country.
The one-hour forum, Covid-19 Vaccinations in Indian Country, will feature health experts, including Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez, Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr., Dr. Melvina McCabe (Diné), retired professor and researcher at University of New Mexico Medical School and Stacy A.
