Summary

Indian Employment, Training and Related Services Demonstration Act Amendments of 1999 - Amends the Indian Employment, Training and Related Services Demonstration Act of 1992 to: (1) revise requirements regarding affected programs to include programs for assisting Indian youth and adults to succeed in the workforce, encouraging self-sufficiency, familiarizing them with the world of work, facilitating the creation of job opportunities, and any services related to these activities (replacing current law requirements of job training, tribal work experience, employment opportunities, or skill development, or any program designed for the enhancement of job opportunities or employment training); (2) require the Secretary of the Interior to reconsider disapproval of any statutory waiver requested by a tribe; and (3) authorize the use of a percentage of funds made available under the Act for the creation of employment opportunities. Permits a regional consortium of Alaska Native villages or regional or village corporations to carry out a project under a plan that meets the Act's requirements through a resolution adopted by the governing body of that consortium or corporation. Provides that such authorization shall not prohibit such a village or corporation from withdrawing from participation in any portion of a program. Requires the Secretaries of the Interior, Health and Human Services, and Labor, and the tribes and organizations participating in the integration initiative under the Act to report to the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs and the House Committee on Resources on the opportunities for expanding the integration of human resource development and economic development programs, and the feasibility of establishing Joint Funding Agreements to authorize tribes to access and coordinate funds and resources from various agencies for purposes of human development, physical infrastructure development, and economic development assistance in general. Requires such report to identify programs or activities that might be integrated and make recommendations for the removal of any statutory or other barriers to such integration.
