AI/AN CAPTA

Key Points

• This bill updates a major law about child safety to make sure Native American tribes get a fair share of federal money. It adds tribes to the list of groups that must receive help across the country.
• The plan changes the budget rules to set aside 5% of child abuse prevention money specifically for Indian Tribes and tribal groups. This is a big increase from the current smaller amount they share with other programs.
• By giving tribes their own dedicated funding, the bill helps tribal leaders create and run their own programs to keep children safe. This recognizes that tribes are often best at helping their own families.
• The bill also makes sure that 1% of the money continues to go toward programs for migrant families. This ensures that children in families who move for work still get the support they need.
