The U.S. House of Representatives considers H.R.1688, the Native American Child Protection Act, on May 12, 2021.

The bill updates the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act, which first became law in 1990 to help tribes and the federal government address child abuse in Indian Country amid reports of widespread victimization.

The House passed H.R.1688 by a voice vote under a suspension of the rules.
