4.4.1 Restitution

Chapter 4.4.1
Effective April 1, 2026

     The Interstate Compact does not alter the authority of the sentencing court to impose restitution or other financial obligations. The imposition, modification, and enforcement of restitution remain matters of the sending state’s law and the sentencing court’s jurisdiction. Rule 4.108 allocates responsibility for collecting fines, fees, costs, and restitution to the sending state. The receiving state’s obligation is limited to notifying the supervised individual of any reported default and documenting noncompliance upon notice from the sending state. Failure to satisfy court-ordered financial obligations constitutes a breach of the supervision agreement, which can lead to the sending state retaking the supervised individual and revoking their probation or parole. 

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.
