2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 46b-151. (Formerly Sec. 17-75). Declaration of policy.
Sec. 46b-151. (Formerly Sec. 17-75). Declaration of policy. It is hereby found
and declared: (1) That juveniles who are not under proper supervision and control, or
who have absconded, escaped or run away, are likely to endanger their own health,
morals and welfare, and the health, morals and welfare of others; and (2) that the cooperation of this state with other states is necessary to provide for the welfare and protection
of juveniles and of the people of this state. It shall therefore be the policy of this state,
in adopting the interstate compact on juveniles, to cooperate fully with other states: (1)
In returning juveniles to such other states whenever their return is sought; and (2) in
accepting the return of juveniles whenever a juvenile residing in this state is found or
apprehended in another state and in taking all measures to initiate proceedings for the
return of such juveniles.
History: Sec. 17-75 transferred to Sec. 46b-151 in 1991; P.A. 03-255 repealed section, effective July 1, 2004, or upon enactment of the Interstate Compact for Juveniles by thirty-five jurisdictions, whichever is later.
