The Executive Committee is vested with the power to adopt a policy on behalf of the Interstate Commission during periods when the Interstate Commission is not in session. The Executive Committee oversees the day-to-day activities managed by the Executive Director.
This policy applies to Commissioners, Compact Administrators, Deputy Compact Administrators, State Legal Representatives, and all persons engaged in the business of the Compact.
A. This policy establishes a proactive process for resolving non-compliance issues before a referral to the Compliance Committee.
B. The guidelines are intended to promote the resolution of such issues through positive interaction and only seek to invoke punitive sanctions in the most serious cases and/or only as a measure of last resort.
C. While the guidelines outlined in this policy are intended to assist member states with non-compliance problems by promoting positive working relationships and solutions, it is recognized that this process may not be applicable in all cases and it is not intended to circumvent the powers and duties of the Commission to enforce the provisions of the Compact as specified by statute or rules.
A. When a non-compliance matter or complaint comes to the attention of the National Office, it will respond by taking the action identified in Level One and continue up through Level Five or until the issue is considered resolved. (See appendix for Filing a Formal Complaint Template and Guide).
