Purpose of the Bill : This bill replaces the existing Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children. The new compact was developed as a collaborative effort among the states and provides increased protections and services for children in the foster care system that may be placed in another state. The new compact will become effective when ratified by thirty five states, and upon final approval of the Interstate Commission. Until such time, the existing compact will remain in effect.
Committee Findings: There were no concerns raised with this bill.
