Vermont § 1420o - Rulemaking functions of the Interstate Commission

§ 1420o. Rulemaking functions of the Interstate Commission

• (a) The Interstate Commission shall promulgate reasonable rules in order to effectively
  and efficiently achieve the purposes of the Compact. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
  in the event the Interstate Commission exercises its rulemaking authority in a manner
  that is beyond the scope of the purposes of the Compact, or the powers granted hereunder,
  then such an action by the Interstate Commission shall be invalid and have no force
  or effect. (b) Rules deemed appropriate for the operations of the Interstate Commission shall be
  made pursuant to a rulemaking process that substantially conforms to the “Model State
  Administrative Procedure Act” of 2010, and subsequent amendments thereto. (c) Not later than 30 days after a rule is promulgated, any person may file a petition
  for judicial review of the rule in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
  or the federal district where the Interstate Commission has its principal offices,
  provided that the filing of such a petition shall not stay or otherwise prevent the
  rule from becoming effective unless the court finds that the petitioner has a substantial
  likelihood of success. The court shall give deference to the actions of the Interstate
  Commission consistent with applicable law and shall not find the rule to be unlawful
  if the rule represents a reasonable exercise of the authority granted to the Interstate
  Commission. (Added 2017, No. 115 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 2020.)
