Ariz. Admin. Code § R21-5-105 - Applicability
A. Except as listed
in sub-section B, the ICPC applies to the placement of:
1. Children in another Compact State by an
agency, court or person, which has care or custody of the children.
2. Foreign-born children who are brought
under the jurisdiction of a Compact State by an international child placing
agency.
B. In addition
to the children listed in statute that are not subject to ICPC, the ICPC does
not apply:
1. When a child is placed in an
institution caring for the mentally ill, mentally impaired, epileptic, or in
any institution primarily educational in character or in any hospital or other
medical facility.
2. To the
placement of children into and out of the United States when the other
jurisdiction involved is a foreign country.
3. When a sending court or agency seeks an
independent (not ICPC related) courtesy check for placement with a parent from
whom the child was not removed, the responsibility for credentials and quality
of the courtesy check rests directly with the sending court or agency and the
person or party in the receiving state who agrees to conduct the courtesy check
without invoking the protection of the ICPC home study process. This does not
prohibit a sending state from requesting an ICPC.
4. The Compact does not apply in court cases
of paternity, divorce, custody, and probate pursuant to which or in situations
where children are being placed with parents or relatives or
non-relatives.
