§ 27-8-31-15. Withdrawal of compacting state; reinstatement
Sec. 15. (a) Once effective, the compact continues in force and remains binding upon each compacting state. However, a compacting state may withdraw from the compact by enacting a statute specifically repealing the statute that enacted the compact into law.
(b) The effective date of withdrawal is the effective date of the repealing statute. However, the withdrawal does not apply to any product filings approved or self-certified, or any advertisement of products, on the date the repealing statute becomes effective, except by mutual agreement of the commission and the withdrawing state, unless the approval is rescinded by the withdrawing state as provided in subsection (e).
(c) The commissioner of the withdrawing state shall immediately notify the management committee in writing upon the introduction of legislation repealing this compact in the withdrawing state.
(d) The commission shall notify the other compacting states of the introduction of the legislation within ten (10) days after the commission's receipt of notice of the introduction of the legislation.
(e) The withdrawing state is responsible for all obligations, duties, and liabilities incurred through the effective date of withdrawal, including any obligations, the performance of which extend beyond the effective date of withdrawal, except to the extent those obligations may have been released or relinquished by mutual agreement of the commission and the withdrawing state. The commission's approval of products and advertisement before the effective date of withdrawal shall continue to be effective and be given full force and effect in the withdrawing state, unless formally rescinded by the withdrawing state in the same manner as provided by the laws of the withdrawing state for the prospective disapproval of products or advertisement previously approved under state law.
(f) Reinstatement following withdrawal of any compacting state occurs on the effective date of the withdrawing state reenacting the compact.
