In addition to any procedure provided in Articles IV and VI of the compact for the return of any runaway juvenile, the particular states, the juvenile or his parents, the courts, or other legal custodian involved may agree upon and adopt any other plan or procedure legally authorized under the laws of this state and the other respective party states for the return of any such runaway juvenile.
Article XVI — Additional Article
The governor is hereby authorized and directed to execute, with any other state or states legally joining in the same, an amendment to the interstate compact on juveniles in substantially the following form:
“(a) That this Article shall provide additional remedies, and shall be binding only as among and between those party states which specifically execute the same.
(b) For the purposes of Article XVI, “child,” as used herein, means any minor within the jurisdictional age limits of any court in the home state.
(c) When any child is brought before a court of a state of which such child is not a resident, and such state is willing to permit such child’s return to the home state of such child, such home state, upon being so advised by the state in which such proceeding is pending, shall immediately institute proceedings to determine the residence and jurisdictional facts as to such child in such home state, and upon finding that such child is in fact a resident of said state and subject to the jurisdiction of the court thereof, shall within five days authorize the return of such child to the home state, and to the parent or custodial agency legally authorized to accept such custody in such home state, and at the expense of such home state, to be paid from such funds as such home state may procure, designate, or provide, prompt action being of the essence.
(d) All provisions and procedures of Articles V and VI of the interstate compact on juveniles shall be construed to apply to any juvenile charged with being a delinquent juvenile for the violation of any criminal law. Any juvenile charged with being a delinquent juvenile for violating any criminal law shall be returned to the requesting state upon a requisition to the state where the juvenile may be found. A petition in the case shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in the requesting state where the violation of criminal law is alleged to have been committed. The petition may be filed regardless of whether the juvenile has left the state before or after the filing of the petition. The requisition described in Article V of the compact shall be forwarded by the judge of the county in which the petition has been filed.”
