§9006-A. Rendition amendment--Article VI-A

All provisions and procedures of Articles V and VI of the Uniform Interstate Compact on Juveniles shall be construed to apply to any juvenile charged with being a delinquent by reason of a violation of any criminal law. Any juvenile, charged with being a delinquent by reason of violating any criminal law, shall be returned to the requesting state upon a requisition to the 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 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. [1983, c. 459, §6 (NEW).]

This provision shall apply regardless of whether the requesting state has also adopted it. [1983, c. 459, §6 (NEW).]
