This bill amends the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act to include Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations alongside States in receiving federal funding for child abuse prevention and treatment programs. It specifically changes how funds are allocated by directing 5 percent of the appropriation to Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations, while maintaining 1 percent for migrant programs. The legislation directly affects tribal communities by ensuring they have access to federal resources for addressing child abuse and neglect. These changes modify existing distribution rules within the federal child welfare funding system.
