1     AN ACT concerning juveniles.
 
2     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
 
4     Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
5 Interstate Compact for Juveniles Act of 2007.
 
6     Section 5. Purposes.
7     (a) The interstate compact on juveniles was established in
8 1955 and is the compact addressing the needs of juveniles
9 within the juvenile justice system who move between states and
10 has not been sufficiently updated in its more than 50-year
11 existence.
12     (b) This compact is the only vehicle for the interstate
13 supervision of juvenile offenders, the return of absconders and
14 escapees, and runaways.
15     (c) The complexities of the compact have become more
16 difficult to administer, and many jurisdictions have expanded
17 supervision expectations to include currently unregulated
18 practices such as victim input, victim notification
19 requirements, and sex offender registration, and age-related
20 issues.
21     (d) After the successful adoption 4 years ago of a new
22 interstate compact for adult offenders, the need for an updated
23 compact for juveniles became apparent.

 

 

SB0527 Engrossed - 2 - LRB095 05138 RLC 25209 b

1     (e) After exhaustive research and a detailed study, the
2 Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and the
3 Council of State Governments has recommended that the following
4 compact be adopted by each state and territory in the United
5 States, to better address public safety, enforcement,
6 accountability, and communications among the states.
7     (f) The National District Attorneys Association, the
8 National Center for Mission and Exploited Children, the
9 National Juvenile Detention Association all join with the
10 Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and the
11 Council of State Governments to recommend the adoption of this
12 interstate compact.
 
13     Section 10. Interstate Compact for Juveniles. The Governor
14 is hereby authorized to enter into a compact on behalf of this
15 State with any of the United States legally joining therein in
16 the form substantially as follows:
17
THE INTERSTATE COMPACT FOR JUVENILES
18
ARTICLE I
19
PURPOSE
20     The compacting states to this Interstate Compact recognize
21 that each state is responsible for the proper supervision or
22 return of juveniles, delinquents and status offenders who are
23 on probation or parole and who have absconded, escaped or run
24 away from supervision and control and in so doing have
25 endangered their own safety and the safety of others. The

 

 

SB0527 Engrossed - 3 - LRB095 05138 RLC 25209 b

1 compacting states also recognize that each state is responsible
2 for the safe return of juveniles who have run away from home
3 and in doing so have left their state of residence. The
4 compacting states also recognize that Congress, by enacting the
5 Crime Control Act, 4 U.S.C. Section 112 (1965), has authorized
6 and encouraged compacts for cooperative efforts and mutual
7 assistance in the prevention of crime.
8     It is the purpose of this compact, through means of joint
9 and cooperative action among the compacting states to: (A)
10 ensure that the adjudicated juveniles and status offenders
11 subject to this compact are provided adequate supervision and
12 services in the receiving state as ordered by the adjudicating
13 judge or parole authority in the sending state; (B) ensure that
14 the public safety interests of the citizens, including the
15 victims of juvenile offenders, in both the sending and
16 receiving states are adequately protected; (C) return
17 juveniles who have run away, absconded or escaped from
18 supervision or control or have been accused of an offense to
19 the state requesting their return; (D) make contracts for the
20 cooperative institutionalization in public facilities in
21 member states for delinquent youth needing special services;
22 (E) provide for the effective tracking and supervision of
23 juveniles; (F) equitably allocate the costs, benefits and
24 obligations of the compacting states; (G) establish procedures
25 to manage the movement between states of juvenile offenders
26 released to the community under the jurisdiction of courts,

 

 

SB0527 Engrossed - 4 - LRB095 05138 RLC 25209 b

1 juvenile departments, or any other criminal or juvenile justice
2 agency which has jurisdiction over juvenile offenders; (H)
3 insure immediate notice to jurisdictions where defined
4 offenders are authorized to travel or to relocate across state
5 lines; (I) establish procedures to resolve pending charges
6 (detainers) against juvenile offenders prior to transfer or
7 release to the community under the terms of this compact; (J)
8 establish a system of uniform data collection on information
9 pertaining to juveniles subject to this compact that allows
10 access by authorized juvenile justice and criminal justice
11 officials, and regular reporting of Compact activities to heads
12 of state executive, judicial, and legislative branches and
13 juvenile and criminal justice administrators; (K) monitor
14 compliance with rules governing interstate movement of
15 juveniles and initiate interventions to address and correct
16 non-compliance; (L) coordinate training and education
17 regarding the regulation of interstate movement of juveniles
18 for officials involved in such activity; and (M) coordinate the
19 implementation and operation of the compact with the Interstate
20 Compact for the Placement of Children, the Interstate Compact
21 for Adult Offender Supervision and other compacts affecting
22 juveniles particularly in those cases where concurrent or
23 overlapping supervision issues arise. It is the policy of the
24 compacting states that the activities conducted by the
25 Interstate Commission created herein are the formation of
26 public policies and therefore are public business.

 

 

SB0527 Engrossed - 5 - LRB095 05138 RLC 25209 b

2 their individual and collective duties and responsibilities
3 for the prompt return and acceptance of juveniles subject to
4 the provisions of this compact. The provisions of this compact

8     default. Immediate notice of suspension shall be given by
9     the Interstate Commission to the Governor, the Chief
10     Justice or the Chief Judicial Officer of the state, the
11     majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's
12     legislature, and the state council. The grounds for default
13     include, but are not limited to, failure of a compacting

21     stipulate the conditions and the time period within which
22     the defaulting state must cure its default. If the
23     defaulting state fails to cure the default within the time
24     period specified by the commission, the defaulting state
25     shall be terminated from the compact upon an affirmative
26     vote of a majority of the compacting states and all rights,

2     terminated from the effective date of termination.

13 relating to the defaulting state unless otherwise mutually
14 agreed upon in writing between the Interstate Commission and
15 the defaulting state.

17 state requires both a reenactment of the compact by the
18 defaulting state and the approval of the Interstate Commission
19 pursuant to the rules.
20     Section C. Judicial Enforcement
21     The Interstate Commission may, by majority vote of the
22 members, initiate legal action in the United States District
23 Court for the District of Columbia or, at the discretion of the

23 to which such obligations, duties, powers or jurisdiction are
24 delegated by law in effect at the time this compact becomes
