Summary
Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 1999 - Amends the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish the Tribal Self-Governance Program within the Indian Health Service of HHS to provide for further self-governance by Indian tribes. Sets forth program requirements and related provisions. Authorizes appropriations. Requires the Secretary to: (1) conduct a study to determine the feasibility of a tribal self-governance demonstration project for appropriate programs, services, functions, and activities of HHS, other than the Indian Health Service; and (2) consult with Indian tribes to determine a study protocol for consultation prior to consultation with other specified entities. Authorizes appropriations. Directs the Secretary, at the request of an Indian tribe, to enter into an agreement for the acquisition of any goods, services or supplies available to the Secretary from other Federal agencies that are not directly available to the tribe under this Act or any other Federal law, including acquisitions from prime vendors. Repeals on October 1, 1999, current provisions of the Act that provide for a Tribal Self-Governance Project and makes funds for such Project available for use under this Act.
