| Description of Subjects/Issues |
On June 8, 2016, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) released the first comprehensive regulations for the substantive legal requirement regarding the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). The regulations provide the first legally-binding federal guidance about how to implement ICWA. The federal regulations went into effect December 12, 2016. These proposed changes will bring the current rules into compliance with the new federal regulations and mirror best practices as presented in the guidelines released by the BIA. The proposed rules will update definitions and notice provisions in the existing rules and adds new subparts to address ICWA implementation. It promotes uniformity and provides clarity to the Federal standards established by the statute. The rules will reflect best practices, as established by the BIA. The rule allows for early compliance that promotes the maintenance of Indian families, and the reunification of Indian children with their families. |
