The Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) facilitates the placement, across state lines, of children and youth who meet certain criteria.
As a member of the compact, Vermont follows ICPC regulations and procedures.
When The Compact Applies
The compact applies when a child or youth:
- Is under the jurisdiction of a juvenile court by way of a child protection proceeding.
- Has a delinquency proceeding with custody going to someone other than the child’s legal parent.
- Is being placed for the purpose of adoption.
- Is being placed by the parents for residential mental health and behavioral treatment.
