Why are the time-lines, standards, procedures and information required for conducting assessments undefined and not included as part of the New ICPC?
Time-lines, standards, procedures and information required when conducting assessments are an intrinsic part of the administrative process. Administrative processes ultimately operationalize the Compact and should be defined within the rules and regulations. More importantly, there are a number of variable elements to be considered when the New ICPC is enacted by the 35 states required to make the Compact law. These variables may include changes or advancements in areas of legislation and court decisions, federal and state policy, practice, technology and environment. It would be imprudent to include administrative processes before member states have the opportunity to discuss important factors which may have a direct impact on interstate placements. To include such matters in the substantive articles of the New Compact would remove the ease and flexibility available to address timely challenges and to modify rules without returning to each state legislature.
