The commission is an instrumentality of the participating states. The compact includes provisions relating to the establishment and membership of the commission; powers of the commission; meetings and voting requirements of the commission; commission bylaws and rules; commission committees; commission finances; the establishment of a data system; compacting state compliance; venue for judicial proceedings; defense and indemnification; effective dates and amendments to the compact; withdrawal, default, and expulsion; severability and construction; and the binding effect of the compact and other laws. The compact becomes effective upon the adoption of the compact by the fourth participating state.
