LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

ANY PEACE OFFICER OR OTHER APPROPRIATE PERSON DIRECTING HIM
TO TAKE INTO CUSTODY AND DETAIN SUCH DELINQUENT JUVENILE.
SUCH DETENTION ORDER MUST SUBSTANTIALLY RECITE THE FACTS
NECESSARY TO THE VALIDITY OF ITS ISSUANCE HEREUNDER. NO
DELINQUENT JUVENILE DETAINED UPON SUCH ORDER SHALL BE
DELIVERED OVER TO THE OFFICER WHOM THE APPROPRIATE PERSON OR
AUTHORITY DEMANDING HIM SHALL HAVE APPOINTED TO RECEIVE HIM,
UNLESS HE SHALL FIRST BE TAKEN FORTHWITH BEFORE A JUDGE OF
AN APPROPRIATE COURT IN THE STATE, WHO SHALL INFORM HIM OF
THE DEMAND MADE FOR HIS RETURN AND WHO MAY APPOINT COUNSEL
OR GUARDIAN AD LITEM FOR HIM. IF THE JUDGE OF SUCH COURT
SHALL FIND THAT THE REQUISITION IS IN ORDER, HE SHALL
DELIVER SUCH DELINQUENT JUVENILE OVER TO THE OFFICER WHOM
THE APPROPRIATE PERSON OR AUTHORITY DEMANDING HIM SHALL HAVE
APPOINTED TO RECEIVE HIM. THE JUDGE, HOWEVER, MAY FIX A
REASONABLE TIME TO BE ALLOWED FOR THE PURPOSE OF TESTING THE
LEGALITY OF THE PROCEEDING.

UPON REASONABLE INFORMATION THAT A PERSON IS A
DELINQUENT JUVENILE WHO HAS ABSCONDED WHILE ON PROBATION OR
PAROLE, OR ESCAPED FROM AN INSTITUTION OR AGENCY VESTED WITH
HIS LEGAL CUSTODY OR SUPERVISION IN ANY STATE PARTY TO THIS
COMPACT, SUCH PERSON MAY BE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY IN ANY OTHER
STATE PARTY TO THIS COMPACT WITHOUT A REQUISITION. BUT IN
SUCH EVENT, HE MUST BE TAKEN FORTHWITH BEFORE A JUDGE OF THE
APPROPRIATE COURT, WHO MAY APPOINT COUNSEL OR GUARDIAN AD
LITEM FOR SUCH PERSON AND WHO SHALL DETERMINE, AFTER A
HEARING, WHETHER SUFFICIENT CAUSE EXISTS TO HOLD THE PERSON
SUBJECT TO THE ORDER OF THE COURT FOR SUCH A TIME, NOT
EXCEEDING 90 DAYS, AS WILL ENABLE HIS DETENTION UNDER A
DETENTION ORDER ISSUED ON A REQUISITION PURSUANT TO THIS
ARTICLE. IF, AT THE TIME WHEN A STATE SEEKS THE RETURN OF
A DELINQUENT JUVENILE WHO HAS EITHER ABSCONDED WHILE ON
PROBATION OR PAROLE OR ESCAPED FROM AN INSTITUTION OR AGENCY
VESTED WITH HIS LEGAL CUSTODY OR SUPERVISION, THERE IS
PENDING IN THE STATE WHEREIN HE IS DETAINED ANY CRIMINAL
CHARGE OR ANY PROCEEDING TO HAVE HIM ADJUDICATED A
DELINQUENT JUVENILE FOR AN ACT COMMITTED IN SUCH STATE, OR
IF HE IS SUSPECTED OF HAVING COMMITTED WITHIN SUCH STATE A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE OR AN ACT OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY, HE SHALL
NOT BE RETURNED WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF SUCH STATE UNTIL
DISCHARGED FROM PROSECUTION OR OTHER FORM OF PROCEEDING,
IMPRISONMENT, DETENTION OR SUPERVISION FOR SUCH OFFENSE OR
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY. THE DULY ACCREDITED OFFICERS OF ANY
STATE PARTY TO THIS COMPACT, UPON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THEIR
AUTHORITY AND THE IDENTITY OF THE DELINQUENT JUVENILE BEING
RETURNED, SHALL BE PERMITTED TO TRANSPORT SUCH DELINQUENT
JUVENILE THROUGH ANY AND ALL STATES PARTY TO THIS COMPACT,
WITHOUT INTERFERENCE. UPON HIS RETURN TO THE STATE FROM
WHICH HE ESCAPED OR ABSCONDED, THE DELINQUENT JUVENILE SHALL
BE SUBJECT TO SUCH FURTHER PROCEEDINGS AS MAY BE APPROPRIATE
UNDER THE LAWS OF THAT STATE.

(B) THAT THE STATE TO WHICH A DELINQUENT JUVENILE IS
RETURNED UNDER THIS ARTICLE SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
PAYMENT OF THE TRANSPORTATION COSTS OF SUCH RETURN.
