What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Tribal Adoption Parity Act'', aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It seeks to recognize Indian tribal governments when determining if a child has special needs for the purpose of the adoption credit. Currently, the code references a State in these determinations. This change would add Indian tribal governments to that specific process. The amendments would apply to taxable years beginning after the bill is enacted.
