6.2 State Accountability for Noncompliance with Compact

Chapter 6.2
Effective April 1, 2026

This section explains that ICAOS functions as binding federal law, preempting conflicting state authority and requiring enforcement by all branches of government, while prohibiting unilateral state modification. It also outlines the Interstate Commission’s graduated enforcement authority to address noncompliance and maintain uniform application, including the potential legal and reputational risks to states arising from agency or court violations.
