Jurisdiction and Responsibilities – During an ICPC placement, the Sending Agency retains jurisdiction to determine all matters related to a child’s custody, supervision, care, and disposition, including the power to transfer the child to another placement/location or have the child returned to the Sending State. The Sending Agency’s jurisdiction continues until one of the following events occurs: 1. The child is adopted; 2. The child reaches the Sending State’s age of majority; 3. The child becomes self-supporting; or 4. The child is discharged. The Receiving State must agree with a decision to discharge the child. The Sending Agency remains financially responsible for the support and maintenance of the child during an out-of-state placement. The Sending Agency remains responsible for the child’s ongoing safety, well-being, and case planning throughout the duration of the out-of-state placement.
