HB 1626 -- Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Sponsor:  Stevenson

This bill revises the Interstate Compact for Juveniles.  The
compact is an existing agreement between the states regarding the
supervision and transfer of juvenile delinquents who have escaped
from supervision to another state.  Adoption of the compact makes
Missouri a member of the Interstate Commission for Juveniles and
requires the state to select a compact administrator to manage
the state's transfer of those juveniles subject to the compact.
The compact establishes the powers and duties of the interstate
commission and specifies the bylaws, corporate structure,
rulemaking authority, financing mechanism, process for dispute
resolution, and enforcement provisions.

The compact becomes effective July 1, 2004, or upon legislative
enactment of the compact into law by no less than 35 states,
whichever occurs later.
