The prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorney's fees.

8. Dispute Resolution (a) Upon request by a member state, the Commission shall attempt to resolve disputes related to the Compact that arise among member states and between member states and states that are not member states.

The relief sought may include both injunctive relief and damages. If judicial enforcement is necessary, the prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorney's fees. The remedies herein shall not be the exclusive remedies of the Commission. The Commission may pursue other remedies available under federal or state law.

ARTICLE XI--Effectuation, Withdrawal and Amendment

1. The Compact shall come into effect on the date on which the Compact statute is enacted into law in the tenth member state. On or after the effective date of the Compact, the Commission shall convene and review the enactment of each of the charter member states to determine if the statute enacted by each such charter member state is materially different from the model Compact statute. 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 Article X. Each member state enacting the Compact after the charter member states shall be subject to the process set forth in paragraph (t) of subsection 4 of Article VII to determine if the enactment by that state is materially different from the model Compact statute and whether that state qualifies for participation in the Compact.

2. If a 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 ten.

3. Any state that joins the Compact after 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, as the rules and bylaws may be amended as provided in this Compact.

4. Any member state may withdraw from this Compact by enacting a statute repealing the same. The withdrawal of a member state shall not take effect until 6 months after the enactment of the repealing statute. Withdrawal shall not affect the continuing requirement of the licensing authority of the withdrawing state to comply with the investigative and adverse action reporting requirements of this Compact prior to the effective date of withdrawal.

5. This Compact may be amended by the member states. No amendment to this Compact shall become effective and binding upon any member state until the amendment is enacted into the laws of all member states.

ARTICLE XII--Construction and Severability

The Compact shall be liberally construed to effectuate the purposes thereof. The provisions of this Compact shall be severable and if any phrase, clause, sentence or provision of this Compact is declared to be contrary to the constitution of any member state or state seeking membership in the Compact or the Constitution of the United States or the applicability thereof to any other government, agency, person or circumstance is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this Compact and the applicability thereof to any other government, agency, person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby. If this Compact is held contrary to the constitution of any member state, the Compact shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining member states and in full force and effect as to the member state affected as to all severable matters.
