Abstract	This booklet describes aspects of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, a uniform law establishing orderly procedures for the interstate placement of children and fixing responsibilities for those involved in placing a child. The law has been enacted by almost all of the states and jurisdictions of the United States. Contents focus on such issues as (1) why a Compact is needed; (2) how the Compact came about; (3) what the Compact does, including types of placements covered, who must use the Compact, and safeguards offered by the Compact; (4) procedures for making placement under the terms of the Compact, including administering the Compact, recognizing a placement covered by the Compact, processing referrals for interstate placements, recommended time needed to process requests, making arrangements for child placement, and the sending agency's responsibilities; (5) penalties for illegal placements; (6) related Compacts regulating interstate placement of children; and (7) sources of additional information. The text of the Compact, and examples of forms ICPC-100A, the Interstate Compact Placement Request, and ICPC-100B, the Interstate Compact Report on Child's Placement Status, are provided. (RH)
