## Rule excerpts
2022 construction of Welfare and Institutions Code section 224.2(e). Mother reported Apache ancestry and testified that her grandmother and two uncles were enrolled tribal members.
> We agree with Mother that the information provided on her ICWA-020 form and during her testimony demonstrated a “reason to believe” E.C. may be an Indian child, and the failure to conduct a further inquiry and document the results in the record was error. (§ 224.2, subd. (e); accord, rule 5.481(a)(4)–(5).)
