Bill overview
The Strengthening Tribal Families Act of 2023 aims to ensure that states fully comply with the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, which protects the rights of Native American children and families. The bill requires state child welfare agencies to adhere to federal standards regarding the removal of children and placement in foster or adoptive homes. It also directs the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of the Interior to create a plan for measuring state compliance, outlining specific factors to assess performance and identify areas for improvement. Finally, the bill mandates biennial reports to Congress on state efforts to meet these requirements.
