Local Indian child welfare advisory committee--Membership.
Local Indian child welfare committees shall be established within each
region. The number and locations of the local committees shall
be mutually determined by the Indian tribal governments and urban
Indian organizations served by that region and the DSHS regional
administrator.
(1) The committee shall consist of representatives designated by tribal
government and urban Indian organizations. The regional administrator shall appoint
committee members from among those individuals designated by Indian authorities.
These members should be familiar with and knowledgeable about the
needs of children in general as well as the particular
needs of Indian children residing
in the service area.
(2) The committee may also include bureau of Indian affairs
and/or Indian health service staff if approved by participating tribal
councils and urban Indian organizations.
(3) The DSHS regional administrator and/or the ESSO administrator shall
appoint a member of his child welfare supervisory staff as
a liaison member of the committee.
(4) The local Indian child welfare advisory committee is an
ad hoc advisory committee not specifically authorized by statute. As
such its members are not entitled to per diem and
travel expenses for the performance of advisory committee functions. This
rule shall not be construed, however, to prohibit expense payments
to members who are otherwise qualified for and perform services
compensable under other programs such as the volunteer programs.
