The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) are hosting a web-based conversation on the State ICWA Laws: Lessons Learned & Where Are We Going? on Thursday, April 27, 2023, from 1-2:30 p.m. (EST).
The webinar will address State ICWA laws and their implementation to address Indian family integrity in support of the gold standard values in the federal ICWA passed by congress in 1978. This past 2023 legislative session, eight states introduced ICWA legislation to amend an existing comprehensive state ICWA or introduce a new comprehensive state ICWA to join the already 10 states that have an ICWA law in their state.
