Bill overview
This bill, the American Indian and Alaska Native Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (AI/AN CAPTA), aims to improve support for Native American tribes in preventing and treating child abuse and neglect. It requires the Government Accountability Office to conduct a comprehensive study of child abuse issues within tribal communities and make recommendations to Congress. Furthermore, the bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to ensure equitable distribution of assistance to tribes and tribal organizations, and increases funding for allotments to these groups during years with higher appropriations.
