| 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. |
