§ 806m. Financing of the interstate commission — Article XIV A

• . The Interstate Commission shall pay or provide for the payment of the reasonable expenses
  of its establishment, organization, and ongoing activities. B. The Interstate Commission may levy on and collect an annual assessment from each member
  state to cover the cost of the operations and activities of the Interstate Commission
  and its staff which must be in a total amount sufficient to cover the Interstate Commission’s
  annual budget as approved each year. The aggregate annual assessment amount shall
  be allocated based upon a formula to be determined by the Interstate Commission, which
  shall promulgate a rule binding upon all member states. C. The Interstate Commission shall not incur obligations of any kind prior to securing
  the funds adequate to meet the same; nor shall the Interstate Commission pledge the
  credit of any of the member states, except by and with the authority of the member
  state. D. The Interstate Commission shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and disbursements.
  The receipts and disbursements of the Interstate Commission shall be subject to the
  audit and accounting procedures established under its bylaws. However, all receipts
  and disbursements of funds handled by the Interstate Commission shall be audited yearly
  by a certified or licensed public accountant, and the report of the audit shall be
  included in and become part of the annual report of the Interstate Commission. E. The Interstate Commission may not assess, levy, or collect from Vermont in its annual
  assessment more than $2,000.00 per year. Other funding sources may be accepted and
  used to offset expenses related to the State’s participation in the compact. (Added 2011, No. 43, § 1; amended 2013, No. 56, § 20, eff. May 30, 2013.)
