patient pursuant to this compact, but any two or more party states may, by making
a specific agreement for that purpose, arrange for a different allocation of costs
as among themselves.

among the departments, agencies, and officers of and in the government of a party
state or between a party state and its subdivisions, as to the payment of costs, or
responsibilities therefor.
(d) Nothing in this compact shall be construed to prevent any party state or subdivision

to costs for which such party state or subdivision thereof may be responsible pursuant
to any provision of this compact.
(e) Nothing in this compact shall be construed to invalidate any reciprocal agreement
