is
not
licensed
to

and
take
all
actions
necessary
and
appropriate
to
effectuate
this
compact’s
purposes
and
intent.
The
provisions
of
this
compact
and
the
rules
promulgated
under
this
compact
shall
have
standing
as
statutory
law.
(2)
All
courts
shall
take
judicial
notice
of
this
compact
and
the
rules
in
any
judicial
or
administrative
proceeding
in
a
compact
state
pertaining
to
the
subject
matter
of
this
compact
which
may
affect
the
powers,
responsibilities,
or
actions
of
the
commission.
(3)
The
commission
shall
be
entitled
to
receive
service
of
process
in
any
such
proceeding,
and

have
standing
to
intervene
in
such
a
proceeding
for
all
purposes.
Failure
to
provide
service
of
process
to
the
commission
shall
render
a
judgment
or
order
void
as
to
the
commission,
this
compact,
or
promulgated
rules.
b.
Default,
technical
assistance,
and
termination.
(1)
If
the
commission
determines
that
a
compact
state
has
defaulted
in
the
performance
of
its
obligations
or
responsibilities
under
this
compact
or
the
promulgated
rules,
the
commission
shall
do
all
of
the
following:
(a)
Provide
written
notice

benefits
conferred
by
this
compact
shall
be
terminated
on
the
effective
date

A
remedy
of
the
default
does
not
relieve
the
offending
state
of
obligations
or
liabilities
incurred
during
the
period
of
default.
