What this bill would do

This bill is titled the "Native American Health Savings Improvement Act." It seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary goal is to allow individuals who are eligible for Indian Health Service assistance to qualify for health savings accounts. Currently, receiving certain medical services might disqualify a person, but this bill changes that rule. The changes would take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
