|
| | | Whereas, the Committee To Study State Compliance with the | | Federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 should be established to | | examine the extent to which the State complies with the federal | | Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 and to identify ways in which to | | improve compliance; and |
