Bill Summary
An Act to require active efforts to preserve and reunite Indian families in abuse and neglect proceedings.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Social Services to exert "active efforts" in any child abuse or neglect proceeding involving a child who is a member of or eligible for membership in an Indian tribe. Active efforts are defined as affirmative, thorough, and timely actions intended primarily to maintain or reunite the Indian child with their family, which represent a higher standard of conduct than the typical "reasonable efforts" standard. These active efforts are required to prevent removal of the child from their home, return the child to their home, or prevent the need to terminate parental rights, and must be provided in a manner consistent with the prevailing social and cultural conditions and way of life of the Indian child's tribe.
