Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

It is hereby found and
declared: (1) that the needs of children requiring placement and of adults
seeking to receive them cannot be met by restricting child placement services
and supervision to the territory of a single state; (2) that the cooperation
of this state with other states is necessary to improve services and
protection for children in need of placement.
It shall therefore be the policy of this state, in adopting the Interstate
Compact on the Placement of Children, to cooperate fully with other states:
(1) in furnishing public authorities in a receiving state with notice of the
intention to place a child in the receiving state; (2) in placing a child in a
receiving state only after receiving notification from that receiving state as
to suitability of the placement; and (3) in conforming with the applicable
laws of the receiving state governing the placement of children therein.
Nothing in this act shall be interpreted as limiting the jurisdiction of
the courts under chapter [chapters] 16 and 18, title 16, Idaho Code.
