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. |
