## Summary

**Makes CAPTA funding explicitly reach Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations and reserves a 5% allotment for them.** It would also set aside 1% of the same appropriations for migrant programs and update cross-references to tie those shares to section 209. - Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations: Would be named in CAPTA's geographic distribution and receive a prescribed allotment equal to 5% of amounts appropriated under section 209 for a fiscal year. - Migrant programs: Would receive a prescribed allotment equal to 1% of amounts appropriated under section 209 for a fiscal year. - States and other CAPTA recipients: The bill replaces references to section 210 with section 209 and reallocates specific shares from the section 209 pool, leaving the remaining funds to be distributed under other CAPTA provisions.
