    of the home state. (c) If the laws of a party state do not provide for offenses or violations described in
    precisely the words employed in subsection (a) of this Article, the party state shall
    construe the descriptions appearing in subsection (a) of this section as being applicable
    to and identifying those offenses or violations of a substantially similar nature,
    and the laws of the party state shall contain such provisions as may be necessary
    to ensure that full effect is given to this Article. (Added 1987, No. 62, § 1; amended 2017, No. 83, § 161(4).)
