Summary
The GRACIE Act authorizes the Children’s Bureau to award grants to states so they can electronically record every child welfare interview and keep those recordings for at least five years. States must adopt policies that require the recordings and set rules for who may access them, such as investigators and courts. The program is funded at up to $30 million per year through 2031.
