The present Compact regulates supervision of adult parolees and probationers who transfer from one state to another. Administration of the Compact is overseen by the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision, which monitors compliance with rules governing the movement of offenders. The Commission also coordinates training and education for probation officials, and develops and maintains a system of uniform data collection and information sharing among states. Operating funds for the Commission are derived from an annual assessment from each compacting state, based upon population and the volume of interstate movement of offenders (Code Correctional Services Article, secs. 6-201 through 6-215).
The Council oversees Maryland's participation in the activities of the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision. The Council also develops policy concerning the operation and procedures of the Interstate Compact within Maryland.
