AI Summary

This bill enacts the Interstate Corrections Compact, which allows states to enter into agreements to transfer and confine inmates in each other's correctional facilities. The compact outlines the rights and responsibilities of the "sending state" (where the inmate was convicted) and the "receiving state" (where the inmate is confined). It provides for the mutual development and execution of cooperative programs for the confinement, treatment, and rehabilitation of offenders, with the goal of serving the best interests of the inmates and society while achieving cost savings. The compact covers various operational details, such as payments, inmate access, and procedures for transfers and releases.
