AI/AN CAPTA

This bill changes the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act. It adds Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations to the groups that must be included when assistance under the Act is distributed equitably across geographic areas. It also changes how funds under the Act's community-based child abuse prevention grants are set aside: 5 percent of the yearly appropriated amount would go to allotments for Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations, and 1 percent would go to migrant programs. It also corrects a section reference in the law from section 210 to section 209.
