§ 1360. Article X; Finance
(a) The Interstate Commission shall pay or provide for the payment of the reasonable expenses
of its establishment, organization, and ongoing activities.
(b) The Interstate Commission shall levy on and collect an annual assessment from each
compacting state to cover the cost of the internal operations and activities of the
Interstate Commission and its staff, which must be in a total amount sufficient to
cover the Interstate Commission’s annual budget as approved each year. The aggregate
annual assessment amount shall be allocated based upon a formula to be determined
by the Interstate Commission, taking into consideration the population of the state
and the volume of interstate movement of offenders in each compacting state, and shall
promulgate a rule binding upon all compacting states which governs said assessment.
(c) The Interstate Commission shall not incur any obligations of any kind prior to securing
the funds adequate to meet the same; nor shall the Interstate Commission pledge the
credit of any of the compacting states, except by and with the authority of the compacting
state.
(d) The Interstate Commission shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and disbursements.
The receipts and disbursements of the Interstate Commission shall be subject to the
audit and accounting procedures established under its bylaws. However, all receipts
and disbursements of funds handled by the Interstate Commission shall be audited yearly
by a certified or licensed public accountant and the report of the audit shall be
included in and become part of the annual report of the Interstate Commission. (Added 1999, No. 90 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. April 27, 2000.)
