AI Government Intelligence™The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency Interstate Supervision Act of 2002 amends the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997. It requires the Director of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) for the District of Columbia to supervise DC offenders on parole, probation, and supervised release who move to other states, as well as offenders from other states who move to DC. The Director is authorized to enter into supervision agreements, including the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision, with states or groups of states to facilitate this process.
This law expands the responsibilities of the CSOSA Director to manage interstate supervision of offenders between DC and other states through formal agreements.
- Amends prior law to include supervision of probationers and those on supervised release, in addition to parolees.
- Requires supervision arrangements for DC offenders moving out of DC and for out-of-state offenders moving into DC.
- Authorizes the Director to enter into interstate agreements, including the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision.
