Summary of provisions
§ 1- Amends section 8 of chapter 29 of the laws of 2011 amending the executive law relating to the adoption of the interstate compact for juveniles by the state of New York by changing the date deemed repealed from September 1, 2013 to September 1, 2015.
§ 2- Effective date.
Justification
New York and other states have entered into several interstate compacts that coordinate state activities affecting other states. In addition to the 1955 ICJ, these compacts include the Inter- state Compact on the Placement of Children and the Interstate Compact for Adult supervision. Each compact member state must enact uniform legislation providing for joint and cooperative action among the states regarding the subject matter of that compact.
By its terms, the New ICJ became effective in 2008 when the 35th state enacted the new ICJ legislation. Similar to the 1955 ICJ, the primary purpose of the New ICJ is to manage the relationship between states that send and states that receive adjudicated juveniles and status offenders who are on parole or probation regarding the provision of services and supervision. The New ICJ also governs the return of a juvenile who absconds to another state while under supervision or after being accused of a crime. The New ICJ additionally provides for the return of a non- adjudicated juvenile who runs away from his or her state of residence. The New ICJ creates an Interstate Commission for Juveniles (Commission) to oversee, supervise and coordinate the interstate movement of juve- niles. The Commission is made up of "commissioners" who are the Compact administrators or designees from each of the member states. Member states pay dues for the operation and staffing of the Commission. Only member states may vote on Commission matters, but nonmember states may attend Commission meetings. The Commission is permanently staffed to perform its duties.
In December of 2008, the Commission adopted by-laws for the Commission's operation and transitional rules for the year 2009. Some topics
addressed in the 1955 Interstate Compact, such as the obligations and allocation of costs between the sending and receiving states, are now addressed through the Commission's rules.
New York enacted the New ICJ in 2011, but will expire in September of 2013. If New York State does not extend the New ICJ and the transition rules are not continued, New York will no longer have an agreed-upon process for sending and receiving juveniles for supervision, or for returning runaways, except where the other state also is not a New ICJ member state. In addition, as a non-member state, New York will not be able to vote on proposed Commission rules or bylaws.
Legislative history
New Bill. Extends Chapter 29 of 2011.
Fiscal implications
ICJ member states are assessed annual dues to support the Commission. The amount of dues is set based on the popu- lation of the member state and the frequency of the state's use of the ICJ. This cost may be offset by savings associated with the state being able to take advantage of the ICJ rate for the transport of youth and not needing to negotiate individual rates with other states.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
