Bill > H0464

This bill authorizes the Governor of Idaho to develop and execute an interstate compact for border security with other interested states. The key provisions are: 1. The Governor can execute the compact without legislative approval if Idaho or another compacting state is subject to an invasion or imminent danger. 2. The compact does not require congressional approval and cannot increase the political power of the compacting states relative to the federal government. 3. The compact must include provisions for sharing law enforcement intelligence, resources to build physical or technological border barriers, and other law enforcement resources to secure the border with Mexico or Canada. The bill also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
