Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Tribes get 5% of CAPTA funds

If enacted, the bill would tie specific allotments to the amount Congress appropriates under section 209 each year. It would set 5 percent of that section 209 appropriation for allotments to Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations and 1 percent for migrant programs. The dollar amounts would rise or fall with the annual appropriation, so families served by those tribal or migrant programs could see more funding if Congress funds the program.

Tribes eligible for CAPTA funds

If enacted, the bill would add Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations to CAPTA's geographic-distribution list. That would let tribal governments and tribal organizations be eligible to receive CAPTA assistance like States. Any actual payments would depend on yearly funding Congress provides.
