2.  Upon receiving an ICWA compliance report, the court shall order the matter to proceed if the court finds that the petitioner satisfied the inquiry requirements under subsection 1 of NRS 125E.210 and, if applicable, the notice requirements under subsection 2 of NRS 125E.220. If the court finds that:

(a) Subject to the procedures under subsection 3 of NRS 125E.210, the child is an Indian child, the court’s order under this subsection must include a finding regarding whether the proposed adoptive placement complies with the preferences under NRS 125E.350. If the court finds that the proposed adoptive placement does not comply with such preferences or that the documentation provided by the petitioner is insufficient for the court to make a finding, the court shall direct the petitioner to amend the petition to cure the deficiency or file a motion under subsection 3 of NRS 125E.350, for authority to make the placement contrary to the placement preferences under NRS 125E.350.

(b) The petitioner failed to satisfy the inquiry requirements under subsection 1 of NRS 125E.210 or, if applicable, the notice requirements under subsection 2 of NRS 125E.220, or if the documentation supplied by the petitioner is insufficient for the court to make those findings, the court shall direct the petitioner to cure the inquiry or notice deficiency and file an amended petition. If the court directs the petitioner to file an amended petition pursuant to this subsection or a motion and the petitioner fails to do so within a reasonable amount of time, the court shall order the petitioner to appear and show cause why the court should not dismiss the petition.

(f) The declaration of compliance regarding the notices the petitioner sent, as described in NRS 127.115.

4.  The Division shall adopt any other regulations for the preparation of ICWA compliance reports that are necessary for agencies which provide child welfare services to carry out their duties under this chapter.
