| |||||||
1 | AN ACT concerning juveniles.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the | ||||||
5 | Interstate Compact for Juveniles Act of 2007. | ||||||
6 | Section 5. Purposes. | ||||||
7 | (a) The interstate compact on juveniles was established in | ||||||
8 | 1955 and is the compact addressing the needs of juveniles | ||||||
9 | within the juvenile justice system who move between states and | ||||||
10 | has not been sufficiently updated in its more than 50-year | ||||||
11 | existence. | ||||||
12 | (b) This compact is the only vehicle for the interstate | ||||||
13 | supervision of juvenile offenders, the return of absconders and | ||||||
14 | escapees, and runaways. | ||||||
15 | (c) The complexities of the compact have become more | ||||||
16 | difficult to administer, and many jurisdictions have expanded | ||||||
17 | supervision expectations to include currently unregulated | ||||||
18 | practices such as victim input, victim notification | ||||||
19 | requirements, and sex offender registration, and age-related | ||||||
20 | issues. | ||||||
21 | (d) After the successful adoption 4 years ago of a new | ||||||
22 | interstate compact for adult offenders, the need for an updated | ||||||
23 | compact for juveniles became apparent. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (e) After exhaustive research and a detailed study, the | ||||||
2 | Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and the | ||||||
3 | Council of State Governments has recommended that the following | ||||||
4 | compact be adopted by each state and territory in the United | ||||||
5 | States, to better address public safety, enforcement, | ||||||
6 | accountability, and communications among the states. | ||||||
7 | (f) The National District Attorneys Association, the | ||||||
8 | National Center for Mission and Exploited Children, the | ||||||
9 | National Juvenile Detention Association all join with the | ||||||
10 | Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and the | ||||||
11 | Council of State Governments to recommend the adoption of this | ||||||
12 | interstate compact.
| ||||||
13 | Section 10. Interstate Compact for Juveniles. The Governor | ||||||
14 | is hereby authorized to enter into a compact on behalf of this | ||||||
15 | State with any of the United States legally joining therein in | ||||||
16 | the form substantially as follows: | ||||||
17 | THE INTERSTATE COMPACT FOR JUVENILES | ||||||
18 | ARTICLE I | ||||||
19 | PURPOSE | ||||||
20 | The compacting states to this Interstate Compact recognize | ||||||
21 | that each state is responsible for the proper supervision or | ||||||
22 | return of juveniles, delinquents and status offenders who are | ||||||
23 | on probation or parole and who have absconded, escaped or run | ||||||
24 | away from supervision and control and in so doing have | ||||||
25 | endangered their own safety and the safety of others. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | compacting states also recognize that each state is responsible | ||||||
2 | for the safe return of juveniles who have run away from home | ||||||
3 | and in doing so have left their state of residence. The | ||||||
4 | compacting states also recognize that Congress, by enacting the | ||||||
5 | Crime Control Act, 4 U.S.C. Section 112 (1965), has authorized | ||||||
6 | and encouraged compacts for cooperative efforts and mutual | ||||||
7 | assistance in the prevention of crime. | ||||||
8 | It is the purpose of this compact, through means of joint | ||||||
9 | and cooperative action among the compacting states to: (A) | ||||||
10 | ensure that the adjudicated juveniles and status offenders | ||||||
11 | subject to this compact are provided adequate supervision and | ||||||
12 | services in the receiving state as ordered by the adjudicating | ||||||
13 | judge or parole authority in the sending state; (B) ensure that | ||||||
14 | the public safety interests of the citizens, including the | ||||||
15 | victims of juvenile offenders, in both the sending and | ||||||
16 | receiving states are adequately protected; (C) return | ||||||
17 | juveniles who have run away, absconded or escaped from | ||||||
18 | supervision or control or have been accused of an offense to | ||||||
19 | the state requesting their return; (D) make contracts for the | ||||||
20 | cooperative institutionalization in public facilities in | ||||||
21 | member states for delinquent youth needing special services; | ||||||
22 | (E) provide for the effective tracking and supervision of | ||||||
23 | juveniles; (F) equitably allocate the costs, benefits and | ||||||
24 | obligations of the compacting states; (G) establish procedures | ||||||
25 | to manage the movement between states of juvenile offenders | ||||||
26 | released to the community under the jurisdiction of courts, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | juvenile departments, or any other criminal or juvenile justice | ||||||
2 | agency which has jurisdiction over juvenile offenders; (H) | ||||||
3 | insure immediate notice to jurisdictions where defined | ||||||
4 | offenders are authorized to travel or to relocate across state | ||||||
5 | lines; (I) establish procedures to resolve pending charges | ||||||
6 | (detainers) against juvenile offenders prior to transfer or | ||||||
7 | release to the community under the terms of this compact; (J) | ||||||
8 | establish a system of uniform data collection on information | ||||||
9 | pertaining to juveniles subject to this compact that allows | ||||||
10 | access by authorized juvenile justice and criminal justice | ||||||
11 | officials, and regular reporting of Compact activities to heads | ||||||
12 | of state executive, judicial, and legislative branches and | ||||||
13 | juvenile and criminal justice administrators; (K) monitor | ||||||
14 | compliance with rules governing interstate movement of | ||||||
15 | juveniles and initiate interventions to address and correct | ||||||
16 | non-compliance; (L) coordinate training and education | ||||||
17 | regarding the regulation of interstate movement of juveniles | ||||||
18 | for officials involved in such activity; and (M) coordinate the | ||||||
19 | implementation and operation of the compact with the Interstate | ||||||
20 | Compact for the Placement of Children, the Interstate Compact | ||||||
21 | for Adult Offender Supervision and other compacts affecting | ||||||
22 | juveniles particularly in those cases where concurrent or | ||||||
23 | overlapping supervision issues arise. It is the policy of the | ||||||
24 | compacting states that the activities conducted by the | ||||||
25 | Interstate Commission created herein are the formation of | ||||||
26 | public policies and therefore are public business. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Furthermore, the compacting states shall cooperate and observe | ||||||
2 | their individual and collective duties and responsibilities | ||||||
3 | for the prompt return and acceptance of juveniles subject to | ||||||
4 | the provisions of this compact. The provisions of this compact | ||||||
5 | shall be reasonably and liberally construed to accomplish the | ||||||

3 | conferred upon it by subsequent action of the respective | ||||||
4 | legislatures of the compacting states in accordance with the | ||||||
5 | terms of this compact. | ||||||
6 | B. The Interstate Commission shall consist of | ||||||
7 | commissioners appointed by the appropriate appointing | ||||||
8 | authority in each state pursuant to the rules and requirements | ||||||
9 | of each compacting state and in consultation with the State | ||||||
10 | Council for Interstate Juvenile Supervision created hereunder. | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ex-officio (non-voting) members, including members of other | ||||||
2 | national organizations, in such numbers as shall be determined | ||||||
3 | by the commission. | ||||||
4 | D. Each compacting state represented at any meeting of the | ||||||
5 | commission is entitled to one vote. A majority of the | ||||||
6 | compacting states shall constitute a quorum for the transaction | ||||||
7 | of business, unless a larger quorum is required by the by-laws | ||||||
8 | of the Interstate Commission. | ||||||
9 | E. The commission shall meet at least once each calendar | ||||||
10 | year. The chairperson may call additional meetings and, upon | ||||||
11 | the request of a simple majority of the compacting states, | ||||||

20 | and/or amendment to the compact. The executive committee shall | ||||||

5 | shall not delegate a vote to another compacting state. However, | ||||||
6 | a commissioner, in consultation with the state council, shall | ||||||
7 | appoint another authorized representative, in the absence of | ||||||
8 | the commissioner from that state, to cast a vote on behalf of | ||||||
9 | the compacting state at a specified meeting. The by-laws may | ||||||
10 | provide for members' participation in meetings by telephone or | ||||||
11 | other means of telecommunication or electronic communication. | ||||||

13 | conditions and procedures under which the Interstate | ||||||
14 | Commission shall make its information and official records | ||||||
15 | available to the public for inspection or copying. The | ||||||
16 | Interstate Commission may exempt from disclosure any | ||||||
17 | information or official records to the extent they would | ||||||
18 | adversely affect personal privacy rights or proprietary | ||||||
19 | interests. | ||||||
20 | I. Public notice shall be given of all meetings and all | ||||||
21 | meetings shall be open to the public, except as set forth in | ||||||
22 | the Rules or as otherwise provided in the Compact. The | ||||||
23 | Interstate Commission and any of its committees may close a | ||||||
24 | meeting to the public where it determines by two-thirds vote | ||||||
25 | that an open meeting would be likely to: | ||||||

17 | the purpose of regulation or supervision of such person or | ||||||
18 | entity; | ||||||
19 | 8. Disclose information, the premature disclosure of | ||||||
20 | which would significantly endanger the stability of a | ||||||
21 | regulated person or entity; or | ||||||

23 | issuance of a subpoena, or its participation in a civil | ||||||
24 | action or other legal proceeding. | ||||||
25 | J. For every meeting closed pursuant to this provision, the | ||||||
26 | Interstate Commission's legal counsel shall publicly certify |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that, in the legal counsel's opinion, the meeting may be closed | ||||||
2 | to the public, and shall reference each relevant exemptive | ||||||
3 | provision. The Interstate Commission shall keep minutes which | ||||||
4 | shall fully and clearly describe all matters discussed in any | ||||||
5 | meeting and shall provide a full and accurate summary of any | ||||||
6 | actions taken, and the reasons therefore, including a | ||||||
7 | description of each of the views expressed on any item and the | ||||||
8 | record of any roll call vote (reflected in the vote of each | ||||||
9 | member on the question). All documents considered in connection | ||||||
10 | with any action shall be identified in such minutes. | ||||||
11 | K. The Interstate Commission shall collect standardized | ||||||
12 | data concerning the interstate movement of juveniles as | ||||||
13 | directed through its rules which shall specify the data to be | ||||||
14 | collected, the means of collection and data exchange and | ||||||
15 | reporting requirements. Such methods of data collection, | ||||||
16 | exchange and reporting shall insofar as is reasonably possible | ||||||
17 | conform to up-to-date technology and coordinate its | ||||||
18 | information functions with the appropriate repository of | ||||||
19 | records. | ||||||

25 | this subsection shall be construed to protect any such person | ||||||
26 | from suit or liability for any damage, loss, injury, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | liability caused by the intentional or willful and wanton | ||||||
2 | misconduct of any such person. | ||||||
3 | 3. The Interstate Commission shall defend the executive | ||||||
4 | director or the employees or representatives of the Interstate | ||||||
5 | Commission and, subject to the approval of the Attorney General | ||||||
6 | of the state represented by any commissioner of a compacting | ||||||
7 | state, shall defend such commissioner or the commissioner's | ||||||
8 | representatives or employees in any civil action seeking to | ||||||
9 | impose liability arising out of any actual or alleged act, | ||||||
10 | error or omission that occurred within the scope of Interstate | ||||||
11 | Commission employment, duties or responsibilities, or that the | ||||||
12 | defendant had a reasonable basis for believing occurred within | ||||||
13 | the scope of Interstate Commission employment, duties, or | ||||||
14 | responsibilities, provided that the actual or alleged act, | ||||||
15 | error, or omission did not result from intentional or willful | ||||||
16 | and wanton misconduct on the part of such person. | ||||||
17 | 4. The Interstate Commission shall indemnify and hold the | ||||||
18 | commissioner of a compacting state, or the commissioner's | ||||||
19 | representatives or employees, or the Interstate Commission's | ||||||
20 | representatives or employees, harmless in the amount of any | ||||||
21 | settlement or judgment obtained against such persons arising | ||||||
22 | out of any actual or alleged act, error, or omission that | ||||||
23 | occurred within the scope of Interstate Commission employment, | ||||||
24 | duties, or responsibilities, or that such persons had a | ||||||
25 | reasonable basis for believing occurred within the scope of | ||||||
26 | Interstate Commission employment, duties, or responsibilities, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | provided that the actual or alleged act, error, or omission did | ||||||
2 | not result from intentional or willful and wanton misconduct on | ||||||
3 | the part of such persons. | ||||||
4 | ARTICLE VI | ||||||
5 | RULEMAKING FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION | ||||||
6 | A. The Interstate Commission shall promulgate and publish | ||||||
7 | rules in order to effectively and efficiently achieve the | ||||||
8 | purposes of the compact. | ||||||
9 | B. Rulemaking shall occur pursuant to the criteria set | ||||||
10 | forth in this article and the by-laws and rules adopted | ||||||
11 | pursuant thereto. Such rulemaking shall substantially conform | ||||||
12 | to the principles of the "Model State Administrative Procedures | ||||||
13 | Act," 1981 Act, Uniform Laws Annotated, Vol. 15, p.1 (2000), or | ||||||
14 | such other administrative procedures act, as the Interstate | ||||||
15 | Commission deems appropriate consistent with due process | ||||||
16 | requirements under the U.S. Constitution as now or hereafter | ||||||
17 | interpreted by the U. S. Supreme Court. All rules and | ||||||
18 | amendments shall become binding as of the date specified, as | ||||||
19 | published with the final version of the rule as approved by the | ||||||
20 | Commission. | ||||||
21 | C. When promulgating a rule, the Interstate Commission | ||||||
22 | shall, at a minimum: | ||||||
23 | 1. publish the proposed rule's entire text stating the | ||||||
24 | reason(s) for that proposed rule; | ||||||
25 | 2. allow and invite any and all persons to submit | ||||||
26 | written data, facts, opinions and arguments, which |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | information shall be added to the record, and be made | ||||||
2 | publicly available; | ||||||
3 | 3. provide an opportunity for an informal hearing if | ||||||
4 | petitioned by ten (10) or more persons; and | ||||||
5 | 4. promulgate a final rule and its effective date, if | ||||||
6 | appropriate, based on input from state or local officials, | ||||||
7 | or interested parties. | ||||||
8 | D. Allow, not later than sixty days after a rule is | ||||||
9 | promulgated, any interested person to file a petition in the | ||||||
10 | United States District Court for the District of Columbia or in | ||||||
11 | the Federal District Court where the Interstate Commission's | ||||||
12 | principal office is located for judicial review of such rule. | ||||||
13 | If the court finds that the Interstate Commission's action is | ||||||
14 | not supported by substantial evidence in the rulemaking record, | ||||||
15 | the court shall hold the rule unlawful and set it aside. For | ||||||
16 | purposes of this subsection, evidence is substantial if it | ||||||
17 | would be considered substantial evidence under the Model State | ||||||
18 | Administrative Procedures Act. | ||||||
19 | E. If a majority of the legislatures of the compacting | ||||||
20 | states rejects a rule, those states may, by enactment of a | ||||||
21 | statute or resolution in the same manner used to adopt the | ||||||
22 | compact, cause that such rule shall have no further force and | ||||||
23 | effect in any compacting state. | ||||||
24 | F. The existing rules governing the operation of the | ||||||
25 | Interstate Compact on Juveniles superceded by this act shall be | ||||||
26 | null and void twelve (12) months after the first meeting of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Interstate Commission created hereunder. | ||||||
2 | G. Upon determination by the Interstate Commission that a | ||||||
3 | state-of-emergency exists, it may promulgate an emergency rule | ||||||
4 | which shall become effective immediately upon adoption, | ||||||
5 | provided that the usual rulemaking procedures provided | ||||||
6 | hereunder shall be retroactively applied to said rule as soon | ||||||
7 | as reasonably possible, but no later than ninety (90) days | ||||||
8 | after the effective date of the emergency rule. | ||||||
9 | ARTICLE VII | ||||||
10 | OVERSIGHT, ENFORCEMENT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY THE | ||||||
11 | INTERSTATE COMMISSION | ||||||
12 | Section A. Oversight | ||||||
13 | 1. The Interstate Commission shall oversee the | ||||||
14 | administration and operations of the interstate movement of | ||||||
15 | juveniles subject to this compact in the compacting states and | ||||||
16 | shall monitor such activities being administered in | ||||||
17 | non-compacting states which may significantly affect | ||||||
18 | compacting states. | ||||||
19 | 2. The courts and executive agencies in each compacting | ||||||
20 | state shall enforce this compact and shall take all actions | ||||||
21 | necessary and appropriate to effectuate the compact's purposes | ||||||
22 | and intent. The provisions of this compact and the rules | ||||||
23 | promulgated hereunder shall be received by all the judges, | ||||||
24 | public officers, commissions, and departments of the state | ||||||
25 | government as evidence of the authorized statute and | ||||||
26 | administrative rules. All courts shall take judicial notice of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the compact and the rules. In any judicial or administrative | ||||||
2 | proceeding in a compacting state pertaining to the subject | ||||||
3 | matter of this compact which may affect the powers, | ||||||
4 | responsibilities or actions of the Interstate Commission, it | ||||||
5 | shall be entitled to receive all service of process in any such | ||||||
6 | proceeding, and shall have standing to intervene in the | ||||||
7 | proceeding for all purposes. | ||||||
8 | Section B. Dispute Resolution | ||||||
9 | 1. The compacting states shall report to the Interstate | ||||||
10 | Commission on all issues and activities necessary for the | ||||||
11 | administration of the compact as well as issues and activities | ||||||
12 | pertaining to compliance with the provisions of the compact and | ||||||
13 | its bylaws and rules. | ||||||
14 | 2. The Interstate Commission shall attempt, upon the | ||||||
15 | request of a compacting state, to resolve any disputes or other | ||||||
16 | issues which are subject to the compact and which may arise | ||||||
17 | among compacting states and between compacting and | ||||||
18 | non-compacting states. The commission shall promulgate a rule | ||||||
19 | providing for both mediation and binding dispute resolution for | ||||||
20 | disputes among the compacting states. | ||||||
21 | 3. The Interstate Commission, in the reasonable exercise of | ||||||
22 | its discretion, shall enforce the provisions and rules of this | ||||||
23 | compact using any or all means set forth in Article XI of this | ||||||
24 | compact. | ||||||
25 | ARTICLE VIII | ||||||
26 | FINANCE |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | A. The Interstate Commission shall pay or provide for the | ||||||
2 | payment of the reasonable expenses of its establishment, | ||||||
3 | organization and ongoing activities. | ||||||
4 | B. The Interstate Commission shall levy on and collect an | ||||||
5 | annual assessment from each compacting state to cover the cost | ||||||
6 | of the internal operations and activities of the Interstate | ||||||
7 | Commission and its staff which must be in a total amount | ||||||
8 | sufficient to cover the Interstate Commission's annual budget | ||||||
9 | as approved each year. The aggregate annual assessment amount | ||||||
10 | shall be allocated based upon a formula to be determined by the | ||||||
11 | Interstate Commission, taking into consideration the | ||||||
12 | population of each compacting state and the volume of | ||||||
13 | interstate movement of juveniles in each compacting state and | ||||||
14 | shall promulgate a rule binding upon all compacting states | ||||||
15 | which governs said assessment. | ||||||
16 | C. The Interstate Commission shall not incur any | ||||||
17 | obligations of any kind prior to securing the funds adequate to | ||||||
18 | meet the same; nor shall the Interstate Commission pledge the | ||||||
19 | credit of any of the compacting states, except by and with the | ||||||
20 | authority of the compacting state. | ||||||
21 | D. The Interstate Commission shall keep accurate accounts | ||||||
22 | of all receipts and disbursements. The receipts and | ||||||
23 | disbursements of the Interstate Commission shall be subject to | ||||||
24 | the audit and accounting procedures established under its | ||||||
25 | by-laws. However, all receipts and disbursements of funds | ||||||
26 | handled by the Interstate Commission shall be audited yearly by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a certified or licensed public accountant and the report of the | ||||||
2 | audit shall be included in and become part of the annual report | ||||||
3 | of the Interstate Commission. | ||||||
4 | ARTICLE IX | ||||||
5 | THE STATE COUNCIL | ||||||
6 | Each member state shall create a State Council for | ||||||
7 | Interstate Juvenile Supervision. While each state may | ||||||
8 | determine the membership of its own state council, its | ||||||
9 | membership must include at least one representative from the | ||||||
10 | legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government, | ||||||
11 | victims groups, and the compact administrator, deputy compact | ||||||
12 | administrator or designee. Each compacting state retains the | ||||||
13 | right to determine the qualifications of the compact | ||||||
14 | administrator or deputy compact administrator. Each state | ||||||
15 | council will advise and may exercise oversight and advocacy | ||||||
16 | concerning that state's participation in Interstate Commission | ||||||
17 | activities and other duties as may be determined by that state, | ||||||
18 | including but not limited to, development of policy concerning | ||||||
19 | operations and procedures of the compact within that state. | ||||||
20 | ARTICLE X | ||||||
21 | COMPACTING STATES, EFFECTIVE DATE AND AMENDMENT | ||||||
22 | A. Any state, the District of Columbia (or its designee), | ||||||
23 | the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, | ||||||
24 | American Samoa, and the Northern Marianas Islands as defined in | ||||||
25 | Article II of this compact is eligible to become a compacting | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | B. The compact shall become effective and binding upon | ||||||
2 | legislative enactment of the compact into law by no less than | ||||||
3 | 35 of the states. The initial effective date shall be the later | ||||||
4 | of July 1, 2004 or upon enactment into law by the 35th | ||||||
5 | jurisdiction. Thereafter it shall become effective and binding | ||||||
6 | as to any other compacting state upon enactment of the compact | ||||||
7 | into law by that state. The governors of non-member states or | ||||||
8 | their designees shall be invited to participate in the | ||||||
9 | activities of the Interstate Commission on a non-voting basis | ||||||
10 | prior to adoption of the compact by all states and territories | ||||||
11 | of the United States. | ||||||
12 | C. The Interstate Commission may propose amendments to the | ||||||
13 | compact for enactment by the compacting states. No amendment | ||||||
14 | shall become effective and binding upon the Interstate | ||||||
15 | Commission and the compacting states unless and until it is | ||||||
16 | enacted into law by unanimous consent of the compacting states. | ||||||
17 | ARTICLE XI | ||||||
18 | WITHDRAWAL, DEFAULT, TERMINATION AND JUDICIAL ENFORCEMENT | ||||||
19 | Section A. Withdrawal | ||||||
20 | 1. Once effective, the compact shall continue in force and | ||||||
21 | remain binding upon each and every compacting state; provided | ||||||
22 | that a compacting state may withdraw from the compact by | ||||||
23 | specifically repealing the statute which enacted the compact | ||||||
24 | into law. | ||||||
25 | 2. The effective date of withdrawal is the effective date | ||||||
26 | of the repeal. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 3. The withdrawing state shall immediately notify the | ||||||
2 | chairperson of the Interstate Commission in writing upon the | ||||||
3 | introduction of legislation repealing this compact in the | ||||||
4 | withdrawing state. The Interstate Commission shall notify the | ||||||
5 | other compacting states of the withdrawing state's intent to | ||||||
6 | withdraw within sixty days of its receipt thereof. | ||||||
7 | 4. The withdrawing state is responsible for all | ||||||
8 | assessments, obligations and liabilities incurred through the | ||||||
9 | effective date of withdrawal, including any obligations, the | ||||||
10 | performance of which extend beyond the effective date of | ||||||
11 | withdrawal. | ||||||
12 | 5. Reinstatement following withdrawal of any compacting | ||||||
13 | state shall occur upon the withdrawing state reenacting the | ||||||
14 | compact or upon such later date as determined by the Interstate | ||||||
15 | Commission. | ||||||
16 | Section B. Technical Assistance, Fines, Suspension, | ||||||
17 | Termination and Default | ||||||
18 | 1. If the Interstate Commission determines that any | ||||||
19 | compacting state has at any time defaulted in the performance | ||||||
20 | of any of its obligations or responsibilities under this | ||||||
21 | compact, or the by-laws or duly promulgated rules, the | ||||||
22 | Interstate Commission may impose any or all of the following | ||||||
23 | penalties: | ||||||
24 | a. Remedial training and technical assistance as | ||||||
25 | directed by the Interstate Commission; | ||||||
26 | b. Alternative Dispute Resolution; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | c. Fines, fees, and costs in such amounts as are deemed | ||||||
2 | to be reasonable as fixed by the Interstate Commission; and | ||||||
3 | d. Suspension or termination of membership in the | ||||||
4 | compact, which shall be imposed only after all other | ||||||
5 | reasonable means of securing compliance under the by-laws | ||||||
6 | and rules have been exhausted and the Interstate Commission | ||||||
7 | has therefore determined that the offending state is in | ||||||
8 | default. Immediate notice of suspension shall be given by | ||||||
9 | the Interstate Commission to the Governor, the Chief | ||||||
10 | Justice or the Chief Judicial Officer of the state, the | ||||||
11 | majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's | ||||||
12 | legislature, and the state council. The grounds for default | ||||||
13 | include, but are not limited to, failure of a compacting | ||||||
14 | state to perform such obligations or responsibilities | ||||||
15 | imposed upon it by this compact, the by-laws, or duly | ||||||
16 | promulgated rules and any other grounds designated in | ||||||
17 | commission by-laws and rules. The Interstate Commission | ||||||
18 | shall immediately notify the defaulting state in writing of | ||||||
19 | the penalty imposed by the Interstate Commission and of the | ||||||
20 | default pending a cure of the default. The commission shall | ||||||
21 | stipulate the conditions and the time period within which | ||||||
22 | the defaulting state must cure its default. If the | ||||||
23 | defaulting state fails to cure the default within the time | ||||||
24 | period specified by the commission, the defaulting state | ||||||
25 | shall be terminated from the compact upon an affirmative | ||||||
26 | vote of a majority of the compacting states and all rights, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | privileges and benefits conferred by this compact shall be | ||||||
2 | terminated from the effective date of termination. | ||||||
3 | 2. Within sixty days of the effective date of termination | ||||||
4 | of a defaulting state, the Commission shall notify the | ||||||
5 | Governor, the Chief Justice or Chief Judicial Officer, the | ||||||
6 | Majority and Minority Leaders of the defaulting state's | ||||||
7 | legislature, and the state council of such termination. | ||||||
8 | 3. The defaulting state is responsible for all assessments, | ||||||
9 | obligations and liabilities incurred through the effective | ||||||
10 | date of termination including any obligations, the performance | ||||||
11 | of which extends beyond the effective date of termination. | ||||||
12 | 4. The Interstate Commission shall not bear any costs | ||||||
13 | relating to the defaulting state unless otherwise mutually | ||||||
14 | agreed upon in writing between the Interstate Commission and | ||||||
15 | the defaulting state. | ||||||
16 | 5. Reinstatement following termination of any compacting | ||||||
17 | state requires both a reenactment of the compact by the | ||||||
18 | defaulting state and the approval of the Interstate Commission | ||||||
19 | pursuant to the rules. | ||||||
20 | Section C. Judicial Enforcement | ||||||
21 | The Interstate Commission may, by majority vote of the | ||||||
22 | members, initiate legal action in the United States District | ||||||
23 | Court for the District of Columbia or, at the discretion of the | ||||||
24 | Interstate Commission, in the federal district where the | ||||||
25 | Interstate Commission has its offices, to enforce compliance | ||||||
26 | with the provisions of the compact, its duly promulgated rules |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and by-laws, against any compacting state in default. In the | ||||||
2 | event judicial enforcement is necessary the prevailing party | ||||||
3 | shall be awarded all costs of such litigation including | ||||||
4 | reasonable attorneys fees. | ||||||
5 | Section D. Dissolution of Compact | ||||||
6 | 1. The compact dissolves effective upon the date of the | ||||||
7 | withdrawal or default of the compacting state, which reduces | ||||||
8 | membership in the compact to one compacting state. | ||||||
9 | 2. Upon the dissolution of this compact, the compact | ||||||
10 | becomes null and void and shall be of no further force or | ||||||
11 | effect, and the business and affairs of the Interstate | ||||||
12 | Commission shall be concluded and any surplus funds shall be | ||||||
13 | distributed in accordance with the by-laws. | ||||||
14 | ARTICLE XII | ||||||
15 | SEVERABILITY AND CONSTRUCTION | ||||||
16 | A. The provisions of this compact shall be severable, and | ||||||
17 | if any phrase, clause, sentence or provision is deemed | ||||||
18 | unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the compact shall be | ||||||
19 | enforceable. | ||||||
20 | B. The provisions of this compact shall be liberally | ||||||
21 | construed to effectuate its purposes. | ||||||
22 | ARTICLE XIII | ||||||
23 | BINDING EFFECT OF COMPACT AND OTHER LAWS | ||||||
24 | Section A. Other Laws | ||||||
25 | 1. Nothing herein prevents the enforcement of any other law | ||||||
26 | of a compacting state that is not inconsistent with this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | compact. | ||||||
2 | 2. All compacting states' laws other than state | ||||||
3 | Constitutions and other interstate compacts conflicting with | ||||||
4 | this compact are superseded to the extent of the conflict. | ||||||
5 | Section B. Binding Effect of the Compact | ||||||
6 | 1. All lawful actions of the Interstate Commission, | ||||||
7 | including all rules and by-laws promulgated by the Interstate | ||||||
8 | Commission, are binding upon the compacting states. | ||||||
9 | 2. All agreements between the Interstate Commission and the | ||||||
10 | compacting states are binding in accordance with their terms. | ||||||
11 | 3. Upon the request of a party to a conflict over meaning | ||||||
12 | or interpretation of Interstate Commission actions, and upon a | ||||||
13 | majority vote of the compacting states, the Interstate | ||||||
14 | Commission may issue advisory opinions regarding such meaning | ||||||
15 | or interpretation. | ||||||
16 | 4. In the event any provision of this compact exceeds the | ||||||
17 | constitutional limits imposed on the legislature of any | ||||||
18 | compacting state, the obligations, duties, powers or | ||||||
19 | jurisdiction sought to be conferred by such provision upon the | ||||||
20 | Interstate Commission shall be ineffective and such | ||||||
21 | obligations, duties, powers or jurisdiction shall remain in the | ||||||
22 | compacting state and shall be exercised by the agency thereof | ||||||
23 | to which such obligations, duties, powers or jurisdiction are | ||||||
24 | delegated by law in effect at the time this compact becomes | ||||||
25 | effective. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 75. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is | ||||||
2 | amended by changing Section 1-5 as follows:

6 | Act.
Beginning January 1, 1978, in case of conflict between the | ||||||

9 | (or its predecessor in the case of
an agency that has been | ||||||
10 | consolidated or reorganized) has existing procedures
on July 1, | ||||||
11 | 1977, specifically for contested cases or licensing, those | ||||||
12 | existing
provisions control, except that this exception | ||||||
13 | respecting contested
cases and licensing does not apply if the | ||||||
14 | Act creating or conferring
power on the agency adopts by | ||||||
15 | express reference the provisions of this
Act. Where the Act | ||||||
16 | creating or conferring power on an agency
establishes | ||||||
17 | administrative procedures not covered by this Act, those
| ||||||
18 | procedures shall remain in effect.
| ||||||
19 | (b) The provisions of this Act do not apply to (i) | ||||||
20 | preliminary
hearings, investigations, or practices where no | ||||||

standards and procedures, and (iv) | ||||||
2 | the class specifications for positions
and individual position | ||||||
3 | descriptions prepared and maintained under the

21 | an employee subject to that Code.
| ||||||
22 | (e) Section 10-45 of this Act shall not apply to any | ||||||
