Repeal
§ 931Implementation--Article XIRepeal

The compact starts operating when any 2 states enact it, becomes effective for other states when they enact it, and a party state may withdraw by repealing it, with withdrawal delayed until 30 days after written notice to all other party states.

1. Enactment. This compact becomes operative immediately upon its enactment into law by any 2 states. After it becomes operative, this compact becomes effective as to any other state upon its enactment by that state. [PL 1997, c. 780, §2 (NEW).] 2. Withdraw from compact. Any party state may withdraw from this compact by enacting a statute repealing the compact, but the withdrawal does not take effect until 30 days after the governor of the withdrawing state has given notice in writing of such withdrawal to the governors of all other party states. The action does not relieve the withdrawing state from obligations assumed under this compact prior to the effective date of withdrawal. [PL 1997, c. 780, §2 (NEW).] 3. Copy of compact. Duly authenticated copies of this compact and of such supplementary agreements as may be entered into must, at the time of their approval, be deposited with each of the party states and with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other appropriate agencies of the United States Government. [PL 1997, c. 780, §2 (NEW).]
