§ 1361. Article XI; Compacting states; effective date; amendments
(a) Any state, as defined in Article II of this compact, is eligible to become a compacting
state. The compact shall become effective and binding upon legislative enactment of
the compact into law by no less than 35 of the states. The initial effective date
shall be the later of July 1, 2001 or upon enactment into law by the 35th jurisdiction.
Thereafter it shall become effective and binding, as to any other compacting state,
upon enactment of the compact into law by that state. The governors of nonmember states
or their designees shall be invited to participate in Interstate Commission activities
on a nonvoting basis prior to adoption of the compact by all states and territories
of the United States.
(b) Amendments to the compact may be proposed by the Interstate Commission for enactment
by the compacting states. No amendment shall become effective and binding upon the
Interstate Commission and the compacting states unless and until it is enacted into
law by unanimous consent of the compacting states. (Added 1999, No. 90 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. April 27, 2000.)
