Restitution

The juvenile or juvenile’s family makes restitution payments directly to the adjudicating court or agency in the sending state. Supervising officers in the receiving state shall encourage the juvenile to make regular payments in accordance with the court order of the sending state. The sending state shall provide the specific payment schedule and payee information to the receiving state.

Liability and Immunity

42 U.S.C. § 1983 creates a state or federal cause of action for damages arising out of the acts of state officials that violate an individual’s civil rights while acting under color of state law.

In a compact similar in purpose and scope to the Revised ICJ, a court has held that an interstate compact does not create a federally enforceable right under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for those subject to its provisions absent a clear and unambiguous intent by Congress to establish a federal cause of action.

There are two types of public acts:

Hearing Requirements

Juveniles who are adjudicated delinquent and subject to the ICJ have limited rights.

Due process requirements apply equally to parole and probation revocation. Although a juvenile is not entitled to all of the due process procedures provided in an ordinary criminal trial, he is entitled to receive sufficient due process.

Extraditions

Neither the constitutional provisions nor statutes governing extradition appear to make a special exception for juveniles. Although some form of extradition proceedings is considered necessary for juvenile criminal fugitives, no formal extradition process is necessary to return a minor to a guardian. The power of the state to try a juvenile is not affected by the manner of his return to a state.
