Amends the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act to direct the Secretary of the Interior to contract with qualified financial institutions that are regulated by a federal bank regulatory agency for the investment of all funds presently managed in trust status for Indian tribes and individual Indians, unless: (1) a tribe whose money is held in trust requests in writing that its funds continue to be invested by the Interior Department; or (2) contracting of a particular fund would be inconsistent with the U.S.'s trust responsibility or would contravene any provision of law specifically related to that fund. Requires the Secretary to afford a tribe an opportunity to designate in writing a qualified financial institution to manage its funds.
