Bill > A08701

This bill extends the provisions of the Interstate Compact for Juveniles in New York from September 1, 2025, to September 1, 2030. The Interstate Compact for Juveniles is an agreement between states that helps manage and coordinate the supervision of juvenile offenders who move across state lines. The bill specifically amends a previous law from 2011 that adopted the compact, effectively prolonging its effectiveness for an additional five years. The extension ensures continued legal framework for handling interstate juvenile justice matters, such as supervising probation or parole cases involving juveniles who have crossed state borders. Importantly, the bill maintains provisions that allow New York to continue existing services, supervise juveniles on probation or parole, and make arrangements with non-compact states to manage cases involving juveniles who have absconded or run away, thereby preserving the state's ability to address juvenile justice issues across state lines. The act takes effect immediately upon passage.
