Bill overview
This bill, the American Indian and Alaska Native Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (AI/AN CAPTA), aims to improve child abuse and neglect prevention and treatment services for Native American and Alaska Native communities. It requires the Government Accountability Office to conduct a comprehensive study of child abuse and neglect within these communities, identifying best practices and recommending improvements. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services ensure equitable distribution of assistance to Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations, and increases funding reserved for allotments to these groups during years with higher appropriations.
