While waiting to verify compliance issues under ICAOS, what liabilities are there to holding back cases under review?

The interim answer from Washington's Interstate Compact office is that as long as we are making a good faith effort to comply with the Interstate Compact on Adult Offender Supervision (ICAOS), no liability is likely.

For detailed information about the ICAOS program, there are three Web sites (below) to assist you as well as an attached document listing contact information.

• 
  The Washington State Interstate Compact for Adult Offenders under Supervision (ICAOS) Web site, a link to which is located on the Organizations/Other Washington Organizations page of the Inside Courts Web site. This site includes the following information:
  
  
  • 
    Advisory Opinions.
  • 
    Bench Book for Judges & Court Personnel.
  • 
    On-line Forms.
  • 
    Rules.
  
  
• The national Interstate Compact for Adult Offenders under Supervision (ICAOS) Web site, a link to which is located on the Organizations/National page of the Inside Courts Web site.
