§ 27-8-31-16. Default of compacting state; reinstatement
Sec. 16. (a) If the commission determines that any compacting state has at any time defaulted in the performance of any of the compacting state's obligations or responsibilities under this compact, the bylaws, or adopted rules or operating procedures, after notice and hearing as set forth in the bylaws, all rights, privileges, and benefits conferred by this compact on the defaulting state shall be suspended from the effective date of default as fixed by the commission. The grounds for default include:
(1) failure of a compacting state to perform its obligations or responsibilities; or

The commission shall immediately notify the defaulting state in writing of the defaulting state's suspension pending a cure of the default.

If the defaulting state fails to cure the default within the period specified by the commission, the defaulting state shall be terminated and the compact and all rights, privileges, and benefits conferred by this compact shall be terminated on the effective date of termination.
(b) Product approvals by the commission, product self-certifications, or any advertisement in connection with the product that is in force on the effective date of termination shall remain in force in the defaulting state in the same manner as if the defaulting state had withdrawn voluntarily under section 15 of this chapter.
(c) Reinstatement following termination of any compacting state requires a reenactment of the compact.
