INTERSTATE COMPACT ON JUVENILES

 

 

 

The Interstate Compact on Juveniles was designed primarily for cases involving runaways and for supervision of juveniles who have been adjudicated delinquent.  It provides legal procedures for the return of runaways and makes it possible to place a juvenile on probation or parole in a state other than the one where the offense was committed, with the assurance of supervision by the appropriate agencies of the state in which he is placed.

INTERSTATE COMPACT ON THE PLACEMENT OF CHILDREN

 

 

The Interstate Compact on Placement of Children (ICPC) is a law that has been passed by most state legislatures which provides a mechanism by which children can be placed in safe, approved, placements outside of their home states while being monitored by the receiving state.  ICPC requests can be made to study and approve a placement with a biological parent, relative, foster, or adoptive parent or to place a child in a residential or psychiatric program.  Once the child is placed, the state monitors the placement and reports back to the sending state regarding the progress of the placement and makes recommendations regarding whether the child should remain in placement or return to the home state.  ICPC handles requests on both children entering and leaving the state.
