A cure of the default does not relieve the offending state of obligations or liabilities incurred during the period of default.3. Termination of membership in the compact shall be imposed only after all other means of securing compliance have been exhausted. Notice of intent to suspend or terminate shall be given by the Commission to the governor, the majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and each of the member states.4. A state that has been terminated is responsible for all assessments, obligations, and liabilities incurred through the effective date of termination, including obligations that extend beyond the effective date of termination.5.

The relief sought may include both injunctive relief and damages. In the event judicial enforcement is necessary, the prevailing member shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorney fees.3. The remedies herein shall not be the exclusive remedies of the Commission. The Commission may pursue any other remedies available under federal or state law.SECTION 14. DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTERSTATECOMMISSION FOR EMS PERSONNEL PRACTICE ANDASSOCIATED RULES, WITHDRAWAL, AND AMENDMENTA. The compact shall come into effect on the date on which the compact statute is enacted into law in the tenth member state.

Thereafter, the Commission shall meet and exercise rulemaking powers necessary to the implementation and administration of the compact.B. Any state that joins the compact subsequent to the Commission's initial adoption of the rules shall be subject to the rules 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.C. 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 six (6) months after enactment of the repealing statute.2. Withdrawal shall not affect the continuing requirement of the withdrawing state's EMS authority to comply with the investigative and adverse action reporting requirements of this act prior to the effective date of withdrawal.D. Nothing contained in this compact shall be construed to invalidate or prevent any EMS personnel 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.E. 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.SECTION 15. CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERABILITYThis Compact shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate the purposes thereof. If this compact shall be held contrary to the constitution of any state member thereto, the compact shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining member states.
