SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Adult Offenders. Establishes a new interstate compact to replace the existing Compact. The former Compact (Out of State Supervision of Parolees or Probationers, 1937) will stay in effect to deal with those states that do not adopt the new Compact. The Compact takes effect on the later of July 1, 2004, or the date that 35 states adopt it. Under the new Compact, an Interstate Commission is created. The Commission's duties include establishing uniform procedures to manage the movement of adult offenders under community supervision between participating states; ensuring the opportunity for input and providing a timely notice to victims and jurisdictions where offenders are authorized to travel or relocate across state lines; establishing a uniform data collection system; monitoring compliance of interstate movement of offenders and initiating interventions to address noncompliance; and coordinating training programs regarding interstate movement for officials involved in such activities. Each Compacting State is responsible for supervision of adult offenders in its communities who are authorized by the Compact to travel across state lines. Such responsibilities include tracking the location of offenders, transferring supervision, and returning offenders to originating jurisdictions. The bill also creates a council to oversee the operations of the Compact within Virginia.
