§ 3557. Compact administrator procedures—Article VI

  • (a) For the purpose of administering the provisions of this compact and to serve as a
    governing body for the resolution of all matters relating to the operation of this
    compact, a Board of Compact Administrators is established. The Board shall be composed
    of one representative from each party jurisdiction to be known as the compact administrator.
    The compact administrator shall be appointed by the jurisdiction executive and will
    serve and be subject to removal in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction he
    or she represents. A compact administrator may provide for the discharge of his or
    her duties and the performance of his or her functions as a board member by an alternate.
    An alternate may not be entitled to serve unless written notification of his or her
    identity has been given to the Board. (b) Each member of the Board of Compact Administrators shall be entitled to one vote.
    No action of the Board shall be binding unless taken at a meeting at which a majority
    of the total number of votes on the Board are cast in favor. Action by the Board
    shall be only at a meeting at which a majority of the party jurisdictions are represented. (c) The Board shall elect annually, from its membership, a chairman and vice chairman. (d) The Board shall adopt bylaws, not inconsistent with the provisions of this compact
    or the laws of a party jurisdiction, for the conduct of its business and shall have
    the power to amend and rescind its bylaws. (e) The Board may accept for any of its purposes and functions under this compact any
    and all donations, and grants of money, equipment, supplies, materials, and services,
    conditional or otherwise, from any jurisdiction, the United States, or any other governmental
    agency, and may receive, utilize, and dispose of the same. (f) The Board may contract with, or accept services or personnel from any governmental
    or intergovernmental agency, person, firm, or corporation, or any private nonprofit
    organization or institution. (g) The Board shall formulate all necessary procedures and develop uniform forms and documents
    for administering the provisions of this compact. All procedures and forms adopted
