§ 5906 — Placement authority [Contingently enacted]

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Compact, no child subject to this Compact shall be placed into a receiving state until approval for such placement is obtained.
(b) If the public child placing agency in the receiving state does not approve the proposed placement, then the child shall not be placed. The receiving state shall provide written documentation of any such determination in accordance with the rules promulgated by the Interstate Commission. Such determination is not subject to judicial review in the sending state.
(c) If the proposed placement is not approved, any interested party shall have standing to seek an administrative review of the receiving state’s determination.
(1) The administrative review and any further judicial review associated with the determination shall be conducted in the receiving state pursuant to its applicable Administrative Procedures Act.
(2) If a determination not to approve the placement of the child in the receiving state is overturned upon review, the placement shall be deemed approved; provided, however, that all administrative or judicial remedies have been exhausted or the time for such remedies has passed.
