(a) Any state as defined in subdivision 5722(12) of this title is eligible to become a compacting state.
(b) 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, 2004, 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 the activities of the Interstate Commission
on a nonvoting basis prior to adoption of the compact by all states and territories
of the United States.
(c) The Interstate Commission may propose amendments to the compact for enactment by the

Commission and the compacting states unless and until it is enacted into law by unanimous
consent of the compacting states. (Added 2009, No. 108 (Adj. Sess.), § 12, eff. July 1, 2010.)
