The revised absconder rules shift from automatic retaking to a more nuanced approach that considers individual circumstances and rehabilitation potential, reducing unnecessary resource use. The proposed definition of "abscond" now includes actively avoiding supervision, allowing better differentiation between intentional absconders and those with mitigating circumstances. New investigative procedures ensure thorough and consistent efforts to locate absconders, leading to more informed decisions. Additionally, states can now mutually agree to forgo retaking if an absconder is apprehended within 30 days, promoting flexibility, collaboration, and a more tailored response to violations.

If no, explain
I believe the existing rule already requires that these contacts are attempted prior to the offender being considered an absconder. If the offender is a threat in the community can become and subjective thing that can become debatable. With the current process you can already ask the Receiving State to remove the retaking obligation.
I have suggested changes
No

The update to this rule provides more defined procedures and time frames. The updates remove the need for self-interpretation which has caused challenges in the past.

If yes, what are those changes
The 30 calendar days from initiation of absconding investigation seems pretty long - consider maybe 15 -20 days? Also, when taken in conjunction with 4.109, if the OVR cannot be submitted until 30 calendar days and then the RS has another 30 calendar days from the determination of absconding (last check done) then that would be 60 days from the initial missed appointment before an OVR is submitted. I understand an OVR can be submitted earlier for certain situations but even for a general absconding, is 60 days too long?
