SB 475

This bill repeals the Interstate Compact

on

Juveniles, which has been replaced

by the Interstate Compact

for

Juveniles. The bill also requires a juvenile from

another state who is on supervision in this state under the Interstate Compact for

Juveniles for a sex offense to register with the Department of Corrections (DOC) as

a sex offender before entering this state.

Under current law, the Interstate Compact on Juveniles provides procedures

for the return to their home state of juveniles located in another state who are

runaways, escapees from institutional custody, or absconders from supervision or

from a charge of being a delinquent. Also under current law, the Interstate Compact

for Juveniles creates an Interstate Commission for Juveniles that is required to

oversee, supervise, and coordinate the interstate movement of juveniles who are

subject to that compact and to promulgate rules to effect the purposes of that

compact, which purposes include ensuring that juveniles adjudicated delinquent in

another state are provided with adequate supervision in the state to which they are

sent and returning juveniles who have run away, absconded, or escaped from

supervision or control, or who have been accused of an offense, to the state requesting

their return.

The Interstate Compact on Juveniles, however, is no longer in effect in any state

as each state has now enacted the Interstate Compact for Juveniles. Accordingly,

this bill repeals the Interstate Compact on Juveniles.

Current law requires a juvenile from another state who is on supervision in this

state under the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children for a sex offense

to register with DOC as a sex offender before entering this state. This bill, in

addition, requires a juvenile from another state who is on supervision in this state

under the Interstate Compact for Juveniles for a sex offense to register with DOC as

a sex offender before entering this state.
