| | INTERSTATE COMPACT ON JUVENILES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | An act was adopted June 10, 1963 on behalf of the State of Delaware, recognizing the Interstate Compact on Juveniles as an instrument to deal with the out-of-state supervision of juvenile delinquents and the return of runaways, absconders and escapees. |
 | | With the Interstate Compact on Juveniles, the state expressed its desire to fully cooperate with other states in returning juveniles to those states when their return was sought and in accepting the return of juveniles whenever a juvenile residing in another state was found to belong in Delaware. |
 | | Pursuant to the Interstate Compact on Juveniles, the Governor was empowered to designate the Executive Director of the Youth Services Commissions of Delaware as compact administrator who would, acting jointly with like officers of other party states, promulgate rules and regulations to carry out the terms of the compact. |
