 Effective 1/24/2018  53E-3-914. Article XIII -- Oversight -- Enforcement -- Dispute resolution -- Default -- Technical assistance -- Suspension -- Termination.    (1) Each member state shall enforce this compact to effectuate the compact's purposes and intent. The provisions of this compact and the rules promulgated in accordance with the compact shall have standing as a rule promulgated under Title 63G, Chapter 3, Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act.     (2) All courts shall take judicial notice of the compact and the rules in any judicial or administrative proceeding in a member state pertaining to the subject matter of this compact which may affect the powers, responsibilities, or actions of the Interstate Commission.     (3) The Interstate Commission shall be entitled to receive all service of process in any proceeding, and have standing to intervene in the proceeding for all purposes. Failure to provide service of process to the Interstate Commission shall render a judgment or order void as to the Interstate Commission, this compact, or promulgated rules.     (4) If the Interstate Commission determines that a member state has defaulted in the performance of its obligations or responsibilities under this compact, or the bylaws or promulgated rules, the Interstate Commission shall:   (a) Provide written notice to the defaulting state and other member states, of the nature of the default, the means of curing the default, and any action taken by the Interstate Commission. The Interstate Commission shall specify the conditions by which the defaulting state shall cure its default.     (b) Provide remedial training and specific technical assistance regarding the default.       (5) If the defaulting state fails to cure the default, the defaulting state shall be terminated from the compact upon an affirmative vote of a majority of the member states and all rights, privileges, and benefits conferred by this compact shall be terminated from the effective date of termination. A cure of the default does not relieve the offending state of obligations or liabilities incurred during the period of the default.     (6) Suspension or 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 Interstate Commission to the Governor, the majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and each of the member states.     (7) The state which has been suspended or terminated is responsible for all assessments, obligations, and liabilities incurred through the effective date of suspension or termination, not to exceed $5,000 per year, as provided in Subsection 53E-3-915(5), for each year that the state is a member of the compact.     (8) The Interstate Commission may not bear any costs relating to any state that has been found to be in default or which has been suspended or terminated from the compact, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing between the Interstate Commission and the defaulting state.     (9) The defaulting state may appeal the action of the Interstate Commission by petitioning the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia or the federal district where the Interstate Commission has its principal offices. The prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of the litigation including reasonable attorney fees.     (10) The Interstate Commission shall attempt, upon the request of a member state, to resolve disputes which are subject to the compact and which may arise among member states and between member and non-member states.     (11) The Interstate Commission shall promulgate a rule providing for both mediation and binding dispute resolution for disputes as appropriate.
