Amends TCA Title 36 and Title 37.

Tennessee SB0485 amends Title 36 and Title 37 of the Tennessee Code Annotated to establish standards for the custody and placement of Indian children, emphasizing the jurisdiction of Indian tribes in custody proceedings involving their members. It affects Indian children, their families, and state courts by requiring that custody proceedings prioritize placements with family or tribal members and ensuring that parents or custodians are notified and allowed to intervene in such proceedings. Key provisions include the requirement for state courts to transfer custody cases to tribal jurisdiction under certain conditions and the establishment of standards for voluntary and involuntary termination of parental rights.
