Which party has the authority to recommend the termination of supervision in ICPC cases?

In cases governed by the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC), the authority to recommend the termination of supervision lies with the receiving state. This is because the receiving state is responsible for overseeing the welfare and safety of the child once they have been placed under its jurisdiction. The receiving state's resources, insights, and evaluations of the child’s situation allow it to assess whether the supervision can be lifted based on the child's progress and stability in the new environment.

This recommendation process involves careful consideration of the child's needs and circumstances, ensuring that all aspects of their well-being are taken into account. By placing this authority with the receiving state, the ICPC aims to ensure that local child welfare agencies are closely monitoring the case and can make informed decisions about the continuation or termination of supervision, aligning with the best interests of the child.
