Summary
Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Reauthorization Act of 2003 - Reauthorizes the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act (the Act). Amends the Act to define "child abuse" as any case in which a child is subjected to family violence. Requires the local law enforcement agency to report immediately the occurrence to the State law enforcement agency if: (1) a report of abuse or family violence involves an alleged abuser who is a non-Indian; and (2) a preliminary inquiry indicates a criminal violation has occurred. Directs the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to identify and report to Congress on impediments to the reduction of child abuse on Indian reservations. Repeals the mandate for a study on the feasibility of, and need for, establishment of a Central Register for reports or information on the abuse of children in Indian country. Requires the Secretaries of the Interior and of Health and Human Services (Secretaries) to include contracted and volunteers in background checks, based on fingerprints, with respect to personnel who have regular contact with, or control over, Indian children. Requires similar but no less stringent character investigations by certain Indian tribes or tribal organizations regarding a volunteer or contractor who is employed, or is being considered for employment, with the same duties and responsibilities. Extends the scope of the Indian Child Abuse Treatment Grant Program to treatment programs for Indians who have been victims of child abuse (currently, only child sexual abuse). Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish demonstration projects to facilitate the development of a culturally-sensitive traditional healing treatment program for child abuse and family violence to be operated by an Indian tribe, tribal organization, or inter-tribal consortium. Requires the Secretary to establish within each Regional (currently, area) office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs an Indian Child Resource and Family Services Center. Requires the Attorney General and the Secretaries (currently, only the Secretaries) to enter into a memorandum of agreement to provide staffing for such Centers. Modifies the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Program to include in the duties of designated agencies and officials regarding investigation, treatment, and prevention of child abuse and family violence: (1) coordination and reporting as well as investigation of reported cases of child abuse and child neglect; and (2) treatment and prevention of incidents of child abuse. Modifies the: (1) uses of funds under the Program; and (2) specify matters to be examined in the Secretary's evaluation of a program for which an award is made.
