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. |
