Rule 716 - Interstate Compact(A) The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania/Washington County is a member of the federal compact involving the interstate transfer of offenders known as the Interstate Compact. Interstate Compact rules mandate that any offender seeking to relocate to another state who has been convicted of a felony offense and what is known as transferable misdemeanor offenses must be processed through the Interstate Compact. Offenders released from incarceration or sentenced to probation/parole that are mandated transferable may be eligible for reporting instructions. However, if the offender does not complete the reporting instructions via the Washington County Probation/Parole Office within seventy-two hours (72) of release or sentence, they shall become ineligible for reporting instructions. It should be noted that not all offenders will be eligible for reporting instructions. For example, the offender must have had a residence or family residing within the accepting state at the time the offense occurred to be eligible for reporting instructions.(B) Full transfers of cases may take up to ninety days. The offender may be required to remain in the sentencing state pending application and possible acceptance for transfer.
