H.R. 3839 - Keeping Children and Families Safe Act of 2002
(Rep. Hoekstra (R) MI and 14 cosponsors)
The Administration supports House passage of H.R. 3839, which
would reauthorize the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act.
Reauthorization of this important statute will help to provide
the tools necessary to protect the well being of children and
ensure the availability of treatment for children who need such
services. However, the Administration has concerns with some
of the bill's provisions, including federalism concerns with
the eligibility provisions for State grants for child abuse
and neglect prevention and treatment programs, and looks forward
to working with the Congress to address these concerns.
