California Family Code · 2018-11 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · California

For the purposes of an interstate adoption placement, the term “jurisdiction” as used in Article 5 of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children means “jurisdiction over or legal responsibility for the child.” It is the intent of the Legislature that this section make a technical clarification to the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children and not a substantive change.
