REACH Our Tribes Act

Bill100 is a legislative-summary product, so this looks like a content task rather than a code task. Here's the summary:

S. 5240, the REACH Our Tribes Act, would amend existing farm-bill law to create a formal process at the U.S. Department of Agriculture for consulting with Tribal Governments on annual budget requests and on multi-year reauthorization bills, such as farm bills, that affect USDA funding. The Secretary of Agriculture would have one year to establish this process, must give Tribal Governments 30 days' notice before each consultation, and must report on issues discussed, comments received, and any resulting actions. The bill also directs USDA to publicly report on program funding available to Tribal entities and to identify underused programs needing more outreach.

The bill affects federally recognized Tribal Governments, Tribal organizations, Urban Indian organizations, and Tribally owned businesses, who would gain a guaranteed, recurring voice in USDA budget and reauthorization decisions. It also affects USDA, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Commerce, which are directed to form task forces reducing paperwork burdens across their economic-development programs and to build a public, regularly updated repository of federal programs Tribal entities can access.

The bill was introduced in the Senate on August 4, 2026, by Senator Mike Rounds, with Senator Ben Ray Luján as a cosponsor, and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. It would need to pass committee, both chambers, and be signed into law before taking effect.
