Item 1

 
repealing this compact in the withdrawing state.__The interstate
commission shall notify the other compacting states of the
withdrawing state's intent to withdraw within 60 days of its
receipt of the withdrawal notice.__The withdrawing state is
responsible for all assessments, obligations and liabilities
incurred through the effective date of withdrawal, including any
obligations the performance of which extends beyond the effective
date of withdrawal.__Reinstatement following withdrawal of any
compacting state occurs on the withdrawing state's reenactment of
the compact or upon a later date determined by the interstate
commission.

 
2.__Default.__If the interstate commission determines that any
compacting state has at any time defaulted in the performance of
any of its obligations or responsibilities under this compact,
the bylaws or any duly promulgated rules, the interstate
commission may impose any or all of the following penalties:

 
A.__Fines, fees and costs in such amounts as are determined
to be reasonable as fixed by the interstate commission;

 
B.__Remedial training and technical assistance as directed
by the interstate commission; and

 
C.__Suspension and termination of membership in the compact.__
Suspension is imposed only after all other reasonable means
of securing compliance under the bylaws and rules have been
exhausted.__Immediate notice of suspension must be given by
the interstate commission to the governor, the chief justice
or chief judicial officer of the state; the majority and
minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature; and
the state council.__The grounds for default include, but are
not limited to, failure of a compacting state to perform the
obligations or responsibilities imposed upon it by this
compact, interstate commission bylaws or duly promulgated
rules.__The interstate commission shall immediately notify
the defaulting state in writing of the penalty imposed by
the interstate commission on the defaulting state pending a
resolution of the default.__The interstate commission shall
stipulate the conditions and the time period within which
the defaulting state shall resolve its default.__If the
defaulting state fails to resolve the default within the
time period specified by the interstate commission, in
addition to any other penalties imposed in this section the
defaulting state may be terminated from the compact upon an
affirmative vote of a majority of the compacting states and
all rights, privileges and benefits conferred by this
compact are terminated from the effective date of
suspension.
