Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill repeals the Interstate Compact on Juveniles, which has been replaced by the Interstate Compact for Juveniles.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The Interstate Compact on Juveniles, however, is no longer in effect in any state as each state has now enacted the Interstate Compact for Juveniles.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.
