Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin has appointed Senator John Schickel, of Union, as the Chairman of the Kentucky Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision.
“I am grateful for the appointment from Governor Bevin to this council and look forward to serving,” said Senator Schickel.
Kentucky Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision was created to oversee the intrastate affairs of the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision. The Interstate Commission oversees the day-to-day oversight of the compact between the states.
The Commission promulgates rules to achieve the goals of the compact, ensures an opportunity for input and timely notice to victims and to jurisdictions where defined offenders are authorized to travel or to relocate across state lines and will establish a system of uniform data collection, provide access to information on active cases by authorized criminal justice officials, and coordinate regular reporting of Compact activities to heads of state councils, state executive, judicial, and legislative branches and criminal justice administrators.
The Commission will also monitor compliance with the rules governing interstate movement of offenders and initiate interventions to address and correct noncompliance and will coordinate training and education regarding regulations of interstate movement of offenders for officials involved in such activity.
