Developments in Interstate Compact Law and Practice 2021

handle is hein.journals/urban51 and id is 302 raw text is: 283 Developments in Interstate Compact Law and Practice 2021 Jeffrey B. Litwak* and Elie Steinberg** The year 2021 was an unusually typical year for interstate compacts. Unlike recent years, there were no blockbuster cases and no major federal or state legislation creating, amending, or directly impacting compacts. Likewise, compact agencies took few actions relating to governance and administration that might suggest a new best prac- tice. Nevertheless, there were several judicial decisions involving the application of the federal Administrative Procedure Act, the appli- cation of state law to compacts and compact agencies, and other principles of compact law. Legislative developments included the new federal infrastructure law with significant funding for the cre- ation of additional interstate rail compacts, several state bills relat- ing to rail compacts, state enactments of occupational licensure compacts, and a flurry of other bills and enactments. Significant administrative developments include the Psychology Interjurisdic- tional Compact Commission enacting a new rule specifying that the Commission must vote to find that states' enactments of the com- pact are consistent with the model text, as well as the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Council enacting new rules for alternative dispute resolution, arbitration, and enforcement. This article discusses a wide range of judicial, administrative, and legislative developments in interstate compact law in 2021.1 We dis- cuss reported and unreported cases as both illustrate how courts apply or distinguish principles of compact law.
