The Compact shall come into effect on the date on which the\n\nCompact statute is enacted into law in the seventh Member State.\n\n1. On or after the effective date of the Compact, the\n\nCommission shall convene and review the enactment of each of the\n\nfirst seven Member States (“Charter Member States”) to determine if\n\nthe statute enacted by each such Charter Member State is materially\n\ndifferent than the model Compact statute.\n\na. A Charter Member State whose enactment is found to be\n\nmaterially different from the model Compact statute\n\nshall be entitled to the default process set forth in\n\nSection 13 of this act.\n\nb. If any Member State is later found to be in default,\n\nor is terminated or withdraws from the Compact, the\n\nCommission shall remain in existence and the Compact\n\nshall remain in effect even if the number of Member\n\nStates should be less than seven.\n\n2. Member States enacting the Compact subsequent to the seven\n\ninitial Charter Member States shall be subject to the process set\n\nforth in paragraph 21 of subsection C of Section 10 of this act to\n\ndetermine if their enactments are materially different from the\n\nmodel Compact statute and whether they qualify for participation in\n\nthe Compact.\n\n3. All actions taken for the benefit of the Commission or in\n\nfurtherance of the purposes of the administration of the Compact\n\nprior to the effective date of the Compact or the Commission coming\n\ninto existence shall be considered to be actions of the Commission\n\nunless specifically repudiated by the Commission.\n\n4. Any State that joins the Compact subsequent to the\n\nCommission’s initial adoption of the Rules and bylaws shall be\n\nsubject to the Rules and bylaws as they exist on the date on which\n\nthe Compact becomes law in that State. Any Rule that has been\n\npreviously adopted by the Commission shall have the full force and\n\neffect of law on the day the Compact becomes law in that State.\n\nB. Any Member State may withdraw from this Compact by enacting\n\na statute repealing the same.\n\n1. A Member State’s withdrawal shall not take effect until one\n\nhundred eighty (180) days after enactment of the repealing statute.\n\n2. Withdrawal shall not affect the continuing requirement of\n\nthe withdrawing State’s Licensing Authority to comply with the\n\ninvestigative and Adverse Action reporting requirements of this\n\nCompact prior to the effective date of withdrawal.\n\n3. Upon the enactment of a statute withdrawing from this\n\nCompact, a State shall immediately provide notice of such withdrawal\n\nto all Licensees within that State. Notwithstanding any subsequent\n\nstatutory enactment to the contrary, such withdrawing State shall\n\ncontinue to recognize all licenses granted pursuant to this Compact\n\nfor a minimum of one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of\n\nsuch notice of withdrawal.\n\nC. Nothing contained in this Compact shall be construed to\n\ninvalidate or prevent any licensure agreement or other cooperative\n\narrangement between a Member State and a non-Member State that does\n\nnot conflict with the provisions of this Compact.\n\nD. This Compact may be amended by the Member States. No\n\namendment to this Compact shall become effective and binding upon\n\nany Member State until it is enacted into the laws of all Member\n\nStates.","path":["OK Code","Title 59"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os59.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"ff8ab20a6b913a21649ba46e25a531974e086c4d1c5f14c89781ddeb89be1186","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-59-59-1293","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-59-59-1295"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
