The Compact shall come into effect on the date on which the\n\nCompact statute is enacted into law in the seventh participating\n\nstate.\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\nstates that enacted the Compact prior to the Commission convening\n\n\"Charter Participating States\" to determine if the statute enacted\n\nby each such Charter Participating State is materially different\n\nthan the model Compact:\n\na. A Charter Participating State whose enactment is found\n\nto be materially different from the model Compact\n\nshall be entitled to the default process set forth in\n\nsubsection B of Section 10 of this Compact, and\n\nb. If any participating state later withdraws from the\n\nCompact or its participation is terminated, the\n\nCommission shall remain in existence and the Compact\n\nshall remain in effect even if the number of\n\nparticipating states should be less than seven.\n\nParticipating states enacting the Compact subsequent\n\nto the Commission convening shall be subject to the\n\nprocess set forth in paragraph 21 of subsection C of\n\nSection 7 of this Compact to determine if their\n\nenactments are materially different from the model\n\nCompact and whether they qualify for participation in\n\nthe Compact;\n\n2. Participating states enacting the Compact subsequent to the\n\nseven initial Charter Participating States shall be subject to the\n\nprocess set forth in paragraph 21 of subsection C of Section 7 of\n\nthis Compact to determine if their enactments are materially\n\ndifferent from the model Compact and whether they qualify for\n\nparticipation in the Compact; and\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\nB. Any state that joins the Compact shall be subject to the\n\nCommission's rules and bylaws as they exist on the date on which the\n\nCompact 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\nC. Any participating state may withdraw from the Compact by\n\nenacting a statute repealing the same.\n\n1. A participating state's withdrawal shall not take effect\n\nuntil one hundred eighty (180) days after enactment of the repealing\n\nstatute. During this one-hundred-eighty-day period, all Compact\n\nprivileges that were in effect in the withdrawing state and were\n\ngranted to licensees licensed in the withdrawing state shall remain\n\nin effect. If any licensee licensed in the withdrawing state is\n\nalso licensed in another participating state or obtains a license in\n\nanother participating state within the one hundred eighty (180)\n\ndays, the licensee's Compact privileges in other participating\n\nstates shall not be affected by the passage of the one hundred\n\neighty (180) days.\n\n2. Withdrawal shall not affect the continuing requirement of\n\nthe state licensing boards of the withdrawing state to comply with\n\nthe investigative and adverse action reporting requirements of the\n\nCompact prior to the effective date of withdrawal.\n\n3. Upon the enactment of a statute withdrawing a state from the\n\nCompact, the state shall immediately provide notice of such\n\nwithdrawal to all licensees within that state. Such withdrawing\n\nstate shall continue to recognize all licenses granted pursuant to\n\nthe Compact for a minimum of one hundred eighty (180) days after the\n\ndate of such notice of withdrawal.\n\nD. Nothing contained in the Compact shall be construed to\n\ninvalidate or prevent any PA licensure agreement or other\n\ncooperative arrangement between participating states and between a\nsees within that state. Such withdrawing\n\nstate shall continue to recognize all licenses granted pursuant to\n\nthe Compact for a minimum of one hundred eighty (180) days after the\n\ndate of such notice of withdrawal.\n\nD. Nothing contained in the Compact shall be construed to\n\ninvalidate or prevent any PA licensure agreement or other\n\ncooperative arrangement between participating states and between a\n\nparticipating state and nonparticipating state that does not\n\nconflict with the provisions of the Compact.\n\nE. The Compact may be amended by the participating states. No\n\namendment to the Compact shall become effective and binding upon any\n\nparticipating state until it is enacted materially in the same\n\nmanner into the laws of all participating states as determined by\n\nthe Commission.","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":"85225ab965c3e88c14103afab7f8bf6bd3a1c083d6879eb4ee2289d2d9c50e5d","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-59-59-545.10","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-59-59-545.12"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
