How will the states and the New ICPC address state requirements which delay ICPC processing?
The language of the New Compact lays the foundation for states to act uniformly in processing interstate placements. The New ICPC provides a strong legal framework that will require member states to comply and cooperate with the provisions of the Compact. The rules and regulations developed by the Interstate Commission will delineate the provisions of the New ICPC and address administrative processes which have the potential to cause delays. The New Compact will have a staff and committee structure in place that will permit swift identification of potential problems and a manageable process for addressing concerns of member states in a timely manner. Accountability of and compliance from member states will be encouraged through the use of technical assistance and alternative dispute resolution. When enforcement of the New Compact is necessary, the member states will have the tools of mediation and arbitration, suspension, termination, and legal action in federal court available to them
