Need Tribal Support of AB 3176 to Increase ICWA Compliance in California
Since its passage, ICWA has provided important rights and protections to Indian families. However,
the implementation and interpretation of ICWA has been inconsistent across States; creating
significant gaps in protection. As a result, the Bureau of Indian Affairs promulgated regulations to
address the need for consistent interpretation and implementation of the minimum Federal
standards ICWA provides to ensure that all Indian children and their families receive the same
rights and protections across all States.
