Chapter 5 - Retaking (Returning Supervised Individuals to the Sending State)

Chapter 5
Effective April 1, 2026

     Chapter 5 of the Interstate Commission’s rules govern how member states respond when a supervised individual violates the conditions of supervision while under Compact supervision. These provisions define when retaking is mandatory, when it is discretionary, and the procedural safeguards that apply, including notice, reporting, and probable cause requirements.

Rule Comment Period is Open

At its 2026 Annual Business Meeting, the Commission will consider amendments to rules, by-laws as well as use of a Violation Response Tool to support consistent, fair, and data-informed retaking decisions.
