(A) If the purpose of the change of residence is for residential treatment and a return is anticipated, no transfer is necessary. (B) For low or limited supervision level and low risk level adults on supervision, the sending county will notify the receiving county in writing that the individual now resides in their county. The receiving county may review their history in CIS or OMS to determine whether they wish to assume supervision. The decision to investigate and accept supervision shall be at the discretion of the receiving county. (b) Transfer Investigation: In all cases involving the transfer of supervision responsibility for an adult on supervision, the sending county shall ensure that the following information is up to date and accurate in the adult on supervision’s file and, where applicable, in CIS, OMS, and LEDS EPR prior to making the investigation request: (A) Name: Last, first, and middle; (B) Date of birth; (C) SID Number: If none is available, the sending county shall submit a fingerprint card to the State Identification Bureau prior to transfer in accordance with OSP regulations to ensure prints are accepted and an SID can be issued; (D) Crime(s); (E) County(ies); (F) Sentencing data including county, docket numbers, and expiration date for each case; (G) History or risk score according to the Public Safety Checklist or PROXY; (H) Date of request to transfer; (I) Special Conditions: List all special conditions including specific dollar amounts for restitution, community service hours, and any other conditions requiring specificity; (J) Residence: Provide a complete address; rural addresses should include specific directions on location of the residence as well as a description; and (K) Conformance: Note any non-compliance with either the general or special conditions of supervision.

(2) Acceptance or Rejection: (a) The receiving county must complete the investigation and respond to the sending county within 30 calendar days of submission by the sending county. (b) The transfer request must be accepted if the adult on supervision has a job or other legitimate source of income, a residence, and means to comply with the special conditions of their supervision unless: (A) The only active supervision is for a non-funded misdemeanor and the receiving county is unable to provide supervision based on misdemeanant status, due to county policy or resource limitations; or (B) Public safety would be compromised by the transfer (e.g., a sex offender residing in a dwelling where children are present; a proposed residence provider supporting sex offender’s denial or noncompliance; a drug offender residing in a known drug house; an arson offender residing in a boarding house); or (C) The supervision is for a low or limited supervision level or low risk adult on supervision, whereas the decision to accept supervision is at the discretion of the receiving county.

(f) When a transfer is rejected in the interest of public safety, the adult on supervision shall be directed by the receiving county to return to the sending county or to secure a suitable residence elsewhere. Failure of the adult on supervision to do so is a violation and may be grounds for revocation. The reason for rejection needs to be specified and reviewed by the unit supervisor. (g) During the transfer investigation, if an officer from the receiving county observes a violation or has reason to believe that a violation has occurred, that officer shall immediately report the alleged violation to the sending county for appropriate response.
