Interstate Commissioner for Audlt Offender Supervision (ICAOS) Logo

Bench Book - 2.12 Enforcement of the Compact and its Rules (Art. IX & Art. XII)

A key feature of the ICAOS is the Commission’s enforcement mechanisms designed to ensure state compliance with the Compact. These tools are not aimed at compelling compliance from supervised individuals—that responsibility lies with the courts, paroling authorities, and corrections officials within each member state. Instead, the ICAOS provides tools specifically intended to ensure that member states meet their contractual obligations by adhering to the Compact's terms and any rules established by the Commission.
