state where the juvenile may be found. A petition in such case
shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in the
requesting state where the violation of criminal law is alleged
to have been committed. The petition may be filed regardless of
whether the juvenile has left the state before or after the
filing of the petition. The requisition described in Article V of
the compact shall be forwarded by the judge of the court in which
the petition has been filed.

(b) (i) Whenever the duly constituted judicial or
administrative authorities in a sending state shall determine
that confinement of a probationer or reconfinement of a parolee
is necessary or desirable, said officials may direct that the
confinement or reconfinement be in an appropriate institution for
delinquent juveniles within the territory of the receiving state,
such receiving state to act in that regard solely as agent for
the sending state.

(ii) Escapees and absconders who would otherwise be
returned pursuant to Article V of the compact may be confined or
reconfined in the receiving state pursuant to this amendment.
In any such case the information and allegations required to be
made and furnished in a requisition pursuant to such article
shall be made and furnished, but in place of the demand pursuant
to Article V, the sending state shall request confinement or
reconfinement in the receiving state. Whenever applicable,
detention orders as provided in Article V may be employed
pursuant to this paragraph preliminary to disposition of the
escapee or absconder.

(iii) The confinement or reconfinement of a parolee,
probationer, escapee, or absconder pursuant to this amendment
shall require the concurrence of the appropriate judicial or
administrative authorities of the receiving state.

(iv) As used in this amendment (1) "sending state"
means sending state as that term is used in Article VII of the
compact or the state from which a delinquent juvenile has escaped
or absconded within the meaning of Article V of the compact; (2)
"receiving state" means any state, other than the sending state,
in which a parolee, probationer, escapee, or absconder may be
found, provided that said state is a party to this amendment.

(v) Every state which adopts this amendment shall
designate at least one of its institutions for delinquent
juveniles as a "compact institution" and shall confine persons
therein as provided in paragraph (i) hereof unless the sending
and receiving state in question shall make specific contractual
arrangements to the contrary. All states party to this
amendment shall have access to "compact institutions" at all
reasonable hours for the purpose of inspecting the facilities
thereof and for the purpose of visiting such of said state's
delinquents as may be confined in the institution.
