Alaska Supreme Court clarifies active-efforts standard in Jace B. ICWA case
The May 29 opinion in Jace B. v. State (S-19490, No. 2035) addresses whether OCS met ICWA's active-efforts requirement when seeking to terminate parental rights to a newborn identified as an Indian child through tribal eligibility. The court applies existing doctrine to fact-specific circumstances rather than rewriting the framework.
