[EFFECTIVE UNTIL ENACTMENT OF
COMPACT BY 35 STATES OR JULY 1, 2004, WHICHEVER IS LATER] The governor is
further authorized and directed to execute, with any other state or states
legally joining in the same, an additional article to said compact in the form
substantially as follows:
That this article shall provide additional remedies, and shall be binding
only as among and between those party states which specifically execute the
same.
For the purposes of this article, "child", as used herein, means any minor
within the jurisdictional age limits of any court in the home state.
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.
