The Juvenile Compact Administrator may recover from parents or guardians any moneys expended by this state or any of its subdivisions in returning a delinquent or nondelinquent juvenile to this state, for care pending the return of the juvenile to this state or for care provided pursuant to any supplementary agreement. Proceedings to recover such moneys shall be brought before the juvenile court, which shall, upon the parent, parents or guardian being duly summoned or voluntarily appearing, enter such order or judgment as is equitable in the premises. The order or judgment may be enforced by execution or in any manner in which a court of equity may enforce its orders or judgments. No property belonging to persons subject to the order or judgment shall be exempt from levy and sale under execution. [1959 c.434 §5; 2003 c.576 §444]
