ICJ recognizes the authority of ICPC under Article V of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children and supports their authority to return ICPC youth who have run away from their out-of-state placement resulting in a demand for their return by the sending state. In the event a juvenile is held in a secure facility beyond twenty-four (24) hours (excluding weekends and holidays), the appropriate provisions of the ICJ rules shall apply.

A requisition applies to all juveniles in custody who refuse to voluntarily return to their home/demanding state or to request a juvenile whose whereabouts are known, but not in custody be picked up and detained pending return.

A requisition applies to all juveniles in custody who refuse to voluntarily return to their home/demanding state or to request a juvenile whose whereabouts are known, but not in custody be picked up and detained pending return. A requisition may also be used to request a juvenile be picked up and detained pending return when they have left the state with the permission of their legal guardian/custodial agency but failed to return as directed. 

Once an out-of-state juvenile is found and detained, the following procedures shall apply:

1. Juvenile authorities may release a non-delinquent runaway to his/her legal guardian or custodial agency within the first twenty-four (24) hours (excluding weekends and holidays) of detainment without applying the Compact, except in cases where the holding authority suspects abuse or neglect in the residence of the legal guardian or custodial agency.
    
2. If a non-delinquent runaway remains in custody beyond twenty-four (24) hours, the holding state’s ICJ Office shall be contacted and the Compact shall be applied.

1. The sending state has sole authority to discharge/terminate supervision of its juveniles with the exception of:
   
   a. When a juvenile is convicted of a crime and sentenced under the jurisdiction of the adult court of the receiving state and the adult sentence is longer than the juvenile sentence; in such cases, the receiving state may close the supervision and administration of its ICJ case once it has notified the sending state's ICJ office, in writing, and provided it with a copy of the adult court order.
   

1. At any time during supervision if a juvenile is out of compliance with conditions of supervision, the receiving state shall notify the sending state using Form IX Quarterly Progress, Violation or Absconder Report, which shall contain:
   
   a. the date of the new citation or technical violation that forms the basis of the violation;
   
   b. description of the new citation or technical violation;
   
   c. status and disposition, if any;
   

1. If there is reason to believe that a juvenile being supervised under the terms of the Interstate Compact for Juveniles in the receiving state has absconded, the receiving state shall attempt to locate the juvenile. Such activities shall include, but are not limited to:
   
   a. Conducting a field contact at the last known residence;
   
   b. Contacting the last known school or employer, if applicable; and
   
   c. Contacting known family members and collateral contacts.

1. After accepting supervision, the receiving state will assume the duties of supervision over any juvenile and in exercise of those duties will be governed by the same standards of supervision that prevails for its own juveniles released on probation or parole, except that neither the sending nor receiving state shall impose a supervision fee on any juvenile who is supervised under the provisions of the ICJ.

1. Only the receiving state's authorized Compact Office staff shall accept or deny supervision of a juvenile by that state after considering a recommendation by the investigating officer.
    
2. The receiving state’s authorized Compact Office staff’s signature is required on or with the Form VIII Home Evaluation Report that accepts or denies supervision of a juvenile by that state.
    
3. Supervision cannot be denied based solely on the juvenile's age or the offense.
