A. The Compact shall come into effect on the date on which the Compact statute is enacted into
law in the seventh Member State.
1. On or after the effective date of the Compact, the Commission shall convene and review
the enactment of each of the first seven Member States ("Charter Member States") to determine
if the statute enacted by each such Charter Member State is materially different than the model
Compact statute.
a. A Charter Member State whose enactment is found to be materially different from the
model Compact statute shall be entitled to the default process set forth in Section 13.
b. If any Member State is later found to be in default, or is terminated or withdraws from the
Compact, the Commission shall remain in existence and the Compact shall remain in effect even if
the number of Member States should be less than seven.
2. Member States enacting the Compact subsequent to the seven initial Charter Member
States shall be subject to the process set forth in Section 10(C)(21) to determine if their
enactments are materially different from the model Compact statute and whether they qualify for
participation in the Compact.
3. All actions taken for the benefit of the Commission or in furtherance of the purposes of the
administration of the Compact prior to the effective date of the Compact or the Commission coming
into existence shall be considered to be actions of the Commission unless specifically repudiated
by the Commission.
4. Any State that joins the Compact subsequent to the Commission's initial adoption of the
Rules and bylaws shall be subject to the Rules and bylaws as they exist on the date on which
the Compact becomes law in that State. Any Rule that has been previously adopted by the
Commission shall have the full force and effect of law on the day the Compact becomes law in that
State.
B. Any Member State may withdraw from this Compact by enacting a statute repealing the
same.
1. A Member State's withdrawal shall not take effect until 180 days after enactment of the
repealing statute.
2. Withdrawal shall not affect the continuing requirement of the withdrawing State's
Licensing Authority to comply with the investigative and Adverse Action reporting requirements of
this Compact prior to the effective date of withdrawal.
3. Upon the enactment of a statute withdrawing from this compact, a State shall immediately
provide notice of such withdrawal to all Licensees within that State. Notwithstanding any
subsequent statutory enactment to the contrary, such withdrawing State shall continue to
recognize all licenses granted pursuant to this compact for a minimum of 180 days after the date of
such notice of withdrawal.
C. Nothing contained in this Compact shall be construed to invalidate or prevent any
licensure agreement or other cooperative arrangement between a Member State and a non-
Member State that does not conflict with the provisions of this Compact.
D. This Compact may be amended by the Member States. No amendment to this Compact
shall become effective and binding upon any Member State until it is enacted into the laws of all
Member States.‹ Prev All Utah sections Next ›
