A bill to provide that per capita payments to Indians may be made by tribal governments, and for other purposes.

Provides that funds which are to be distributed per capita to individual members of an Indian tribe may be so distributed by the Secretary of the Interior or the governing body of any such tribe. Stipulates that funds distributed under this Act are not liable to the payment of any previous contractual obligation.

States that nothing in this Act shall affect the distribution of funds in judgments of the Indian Claims Commission Court of Claims.

Repeals existing provisions of law which require the Secretary to designate an officer of the Government to make per capita distribution to Indians.
