Tribal Adoption Parity Act
Sponsored By: Senator Klobuchar, Amy [D-MN]
Introduced
Summary
Gives Indian tribal governments parity with states for determining whether an adopted child has “special needs” under the federal adoption tax credit.
Show full summary
The bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code to include Indian tribal governments alongside states when deciding if a child qualifies as having special needs for the adoption tax credit. That alignment could make more adoptions tied to tribal authorities count for the credit. The change does not alter the credit amount, create new programs, or add funding. It applies to taxable years beginning after the date of enactment.
