1.  In an emergency proceeding, the person taking a child into protective custody must make a good faith effort to determine whether there is reason to know that the child is an Indian child and, if there is reason to know that the child is an Indian child and the nature of the emergency allows, the appropriate agency shall notify by telephone, electronic mail, facsimile or other means of immediate communication any tribe of which the child is or may be a member. Notification under this subsection must include the basis for the child’s removal, the time, date and place of the initial hearing and a statement that the tribe has the right to participate in the proceeding as a party or in an advisory capacity.

4.  If there is a reason to know that the Indian child’s parent or Indian custodian has limited English proficiency, the court must provide language access services as required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., and other applicable federal and state laws. If the court is unable to secure translation or interpretation support, the court shall contact or direct a party to contact the Indian child’s tribe or the local office of the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs for assistance identifying a qualified translator or interpreter.

5.  If a child is known to be an Indian child, a hearing may not be held until at least 10 days after the receipt of the notice by the Indian child’s tribe or, if applicable, the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs. Upon request, the court shall grant the Indian child’s parent, Indian custodian or tribe up to 20 additional days from the date upon which notice was received by the tribe to prepare for participation in the hearing. Nothing in this subsection prevents a court at an emergency proceeding before the expiration of the waiting period described in this subsection from reviewing the removal of an Indian child from the Indian child’s parent or Indian custodian to determine whether the removal or placement is no longer necessary to prevent imminent physical damage or harm to the Indian child.
