Bill overview
The International Children with Disabilities Protection Act of 2023 establishes a program within the Department of State to support organizations of persons with disabilities and their families globally. The program aims to prevent the unnecessary institutionalization of children with disabilities by promoting family inclusion, providing grants for advocacy, and building capacity for disability rights initiatives. It also seeks to strengthen laws and policies that protect children with disabilities and ensure their transition to independent living, particularly in response to challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic.
