Item 1

 
B.__Alternative dispute resolution;

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

 
D.__Suspension or 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 and the interstate commission has determined that
the offending state is in default.__Immediate notice of
suspension must be given by the interstate commission to the
governor, the chief justice or the 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, the 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, 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 termination.

 
Within 60 days of the effective date of termination of a
defaulting state, the interstate commission shall notify the
governor, the chief justice or chief judicial officer, the
majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's
legislature and the state council of such termination.

 
The defaulting state is responsible for all assessments,
obligations and liabilities incurred through the effective
date of termination including any obligations, the
performance of which extends beyond the effective date of
termination.

 
The interstate commission may not bear any costs relating to
the defaulting state unless otherwise mutually agreed upon
in writing between the interstate commission and the
defaulting state.
