Accordingly, it is the policy of the party states and the purpose of this agreement to encourage the expeditious and orderly disposition of such charges and determination of the proper status of any and all detainers based on untried indictments, informations, or complaints. The party states also find that proceedings with reference to such charges and detainers, when emanating from another jurisdiction, cannot properly be had in the absence of cooperative procedures. It is the further purpose of this agreement to provide such cooperative procedures.","path":["Title 28: Public Institutions and Corrections","Chapter 025: Interstate Agreement on Detainers","Subchapter 001: INTERSTATE AGREEMENT ON DETAINERS"],"source_url":"https://legislature.vermont.gov/statutes/section/28/025/01501","current_through":"2025 session","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-05T17:17:09Z","sha256":"91301057ec2c38a1ed192a77571bae95864bd8c6f4895d5192b765adfc0f61db","source_id":"us-vt","stale":false,"prev":"us-vt/28-v.s.a.-1431","next":"us-vt/28-v.s.a.-1502"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
