Indian child welfare act-delinquency amendments.

This bill amends Wyoming's Indian Child Welfare Act to exclude delinquency petitions from its application. Specifically, it repeals the provision (W.S. 14-6-201(d)) that previously required the Act to apply to cases involving alleged delinquency of Indian children. As a result, delinquency proceedings for Indian children will no longer be subject to the Act's requirements, such as tribal court involvement or tribal consent. The change applies to cases initiated on or after July 1, 2024, with prior cases governed by the law in effect before that date. The bill directly affects Indian children involved in delinquency cases within Wyoming's court system.
