Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 59-1295: Construction of Compact — Severability

A. This Compact and the Commission’s rulemaking authority shall

be liberally construed so as to effectuate the purposes and the

implementation and administration of the Compact. Provisions of the

Compact expressly authorizing or requiring the promulgation of Rules

shall not be construed to limit the Commission’s rulemaking

authority solely for those purposes.

B. The provisions of this Compact shall be severable and if any

phrase, clause, sentence, or provision of this Compact is held by a

court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to the constitution

of any Member State, a State seeking participation in the Compact,

or of the United States, or the applicability thereof to any

government, agency, person, or circumstance is held to be

unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity

of the remainder of this Compact and the applicability thereof to

any other government, agency, person or circumstance shall not be

affected thereby.

C. Notwithstanding subsection B of this section, the Commission

may deny a State’s participation in the Compact or, in accordance

with the requirements of subsection C of Section 13 of this act,

terminate a Member State’s participation in the Compact, if it

determines that a constitutional requirement of a Member State is a

material departure from the Compact. Otherwise, if this Compact

shall be held to be contrary to the constitution of any Member

State, the Compact shall remain in full force and effect as to the

remaining Member States and in full force and effect as to the

Member State affected as to all severable matters.
