Title: Indian Self-Determination Act Amendments of 1994 
Abstract: The Indian Self-Determination Act Amendments of 1994 (Public Law 103-413) significantly amends numerous provisions of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 (25 USC 450). Its purpose is to limit the promulgation of regulations under 25 USC 450 and to specify the terms of self-determination contracts entered into between the United States and Indian tribal organizations. The Act adds a new definition of the term "construction contract," excludes tribes or tribal organizations from the provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act, and recognizes the applicability of tribal employment and contract preference laws to contracts benefitting a single tribe. The latter provision in effect permits the application of tribal ordinances providing preference in employment to tribal members or other individuals. The Act also amends substantially the scope of contractable programs and the grounds for declination.
