What changed between versions
Changed the primary focus from Indian children only to include all children in certain out-of-state placements, while keeping specific Indian child provisions.
Added requirement that department provide at least 10 days notice to court and parties, or provide notice as soon as practicable (no later than one business day) if delay would cause serious harm.
Added new definitions for 'child', 'out-of-state child-caring agency', and clarified 'qualified residential treatment program'.
Added four new conditions for out-of-state placements: compliance with Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, placement in relative foster/preadoptive home with department approval, department retaining sole approval authority, and no congregate care residential setting.
Removed specific requirements that out-of-state placement must be a youth regional treatment center operated by Indian Health Service or that the tribe must affirmatively request the placement.
