Revises provisions relating to the interstate placement of children. (BDR 11-807)

AB 518 adopts a revised version of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC), which governs how states handle the interstate movement of children in foster care, adoption, or juvenile justice placements. The bill requires sending states to retain jurisdiction over children unless specific conditions are met, mandates receiving states to approve placements and evaluate safety/suitability, and creates an Interstate Commission to enforce the Compact and resolve disputes between states. It directly affects child welfare agencies, juvenile justice systems, and adoption agencies in Nevada and other participating states. The revised Compact replaces the current system’s "administrator" role with a "central state compact office" overseen by a governor-appointed executive. This change aligns Nevada with 18 other states that have adopted the updated Compact, with full implementation pending when 35 states enact it.
