SUBJECT : Juvenile justice: Interstate Compact

interstate movement of juveniles subject to the terms of
this Compact, as specified. (Welfare and Institutions Code
Section 1400 et seq.)

Current law sunsets these provisions on January 1, 2012, as
specified.
This bill extends this sunset to January 1, 2014.
Background
The original Juvenile Compact was developed in 1955. A new
ICJ was written and enacted in 2008 when the threshold of
35 states each ratified the legislation. AB 1053
(Solorio), Chapter 268, Statutes of 2009, repealed the old
compact and authorized the new ICJ in the state until
January 1, 2012. This bill extends the sunset on the ICJ
to January 1, 2014. Current law assigns the Executive
Director of the Corrections Standards Authority (CSA) as
the Compact Administrator and required the CSA to convene
an Executive Steering Committee (ESC) to review and make
recommendations regarding the ICJ, including whether
permanent membership in the ICJ would be the most effective
and prudent means to address supervision of out-of-state
juvenile wards. The CSA presented the ESC's final report
to the Legislature in January 2011.
In its report, the ESC recommended that the State should
join the ICJ and establish the required State Council as
soon as possible to begin immediately evaluating major
issues and reviewing existing ICJ rules to determine
whether it is in the state's best interests to remain in
the ICJ permanently after the January 2012 sunset. The
report also stated it is imperative that all court
officers, judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys, and
probation and parole personnel who are or may be involved
in the interstate movement of juveniles be provided ongoing
training in the ICJ provisions.
Prior legislation . AB 1053 (Solorio), Chapter 268,
Statutes of 2009, passed the Senate (24-14) on September
10, 2009.
