Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to Indian child welfare; repealing the Wyoming Indian Child Welfare Act sunset date; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Wyoming Indian Child Welfare Act sunset repeal," proposes to remove a specific expiration date from the existing Wyoming Indian Child Welfare Act. The Wyoming Indian Child Welfare Act, often referred to as ICWA, is a state law that aims to protect the best interests of Indian children and keep them connected to their families and tribes. By repealing the sunset date, which is a provision that causes a law to expire or become invalid after a certain period, this bill ensures that the Wyoming Indian Child Welfare Act will continue to be in effect indefinitely, rather than automatically ending on a specific date. The bill also specifies that this change will take effect on July 1, 2026.
