In re W.B.
The minor, W.B., appeals from a dispositional order removing him from his mothers custody and ordering him placed in a foster home, group home, relative home, county or private facility. The minor contends the dispositional order must be reversed because the court failed to comply with the notice provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA, or the Act). Finding that ICWA excludes delinquencies from its notice requirements, we hold that any attempt by the State of California to expand ICWAs application to delinquencies is unauthorized under the federal preemption doctrine. Court affirm.
