§ 1353. Article III; The compact commission

• (a) The compacting states hereby create the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision.
  The Interstate Commission shall be a body corporate and the joint agency of the compacting
  states. The Interstate Commission shall have all the responsibilities, powers, and
  duties set forth in this compact, including the power to sue and be sued, and such
  additional powers as may be conferred upon it by subsequent action of the respective
  legislatures of the compacting states in accordance with the terms of this compact. (b) The Interstate Commission shall consist of commissioners selected and appointed by
  resident members of a state council for interstate adult offender supervision for
  each state. (c) In addition to the commissioners who shall be the voting representatives of each state,
  the Interstate Commission shall include individuals who are not commissioners but
  who are members of interested organizations. Such noncommissioner members shall include
  a member of the national organizations of governors, legislators, state chief justices,
  attorneys general, and crime victims. All noncommissioner members of the Interstate
  Commission shall be ex officio, nonvoting members. The Interstate Commission may provide
  in its bylaws for such additional, ex officio, nonvoting members as it deems necessary. (d) Each compacting state represented at any meeting of the Interstate Commission shall
  have one vote. A majority of the compacting states shall constitute a quorum for the
  transaction of business, unless a larger quorum is required by the bylaws of the Interstate
  Commission. (e) The Interstate Commission shall meet at least once each calendar year. The chair may
  call additional meetings and, upon the request of 27 or more compacting states, shall
  call additional meetings. Public notice shall be given of all meetings and meetings
  shall be open to the public. (f) The Interstate Commission shall establish an executive committee which shall include
  commission officers, members, and others as shall be determined by the bylaws. The
  executive committee shall have the power to act on behalf of the Interstate Commission
  during periods when the Interstate Commission is not in session, with the exception
  of rulemaking or amendment to the Compact. The executive committee shall oversee the
  day-to-day activities managed by the executive director and Interstate Commission
  staff, administer enforcement and compliance with the provisions of the Compact, its
  bylaws and as directed by the Interstate Commission, and perform other duties as directed
  by the Commission or set forth in the bylaws. (Added 1999, No. 90 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. April 27, 2000.)
