This bill proposes an appropriation of three million dollars ($3,000,000) from the general fund to the Children, Youth and Families Department for the fiscal year 2027. The funds are designated for the Office of Tribal Affairs to contract for a field liaison whose primary responsibility will be to ensure compliance with the Indian Family Protection Act and the Federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended balance of the allocated funds at the end of fiscal year 2027 will revert back to the general fund. This measure aims to enhance the support and oversight of child welfare practices in relation to tribal affairs, ensuring that the rights and protections afforded under the relevant federal laws are upheld.
