3.4.2 Pre-Acceptance Testing

Chapter 3.4.2
Effective April 1, 2026

     The receiving state may not require a supervised individual, who is otherwise eligible for transfer under Rule 3.101, to submit to psychological testing, treatment enrollment, or other evaluative conditions as a prerequisite to accepting the transfer. Imposing such “pre-acceptance” requirements adds conditions not authorized by the Compact or the Commission’s rules. See also ICAOS Advisory Opinion 5-2006 (Rule 3.101 does not permit a receiving state to place conditions and requirements on supervised individuals prior to transfer under the compact.)

Rule Comment Period is Open

At its 2026 Annual Business Meeting, the Commission will consider amendments to rules, by-laws as well as use of a Violation Response Tool to support consistent, fair, and data-informed retaking decisions.
