ARTICLE VII
(a) For the purpose of administering the provisions of this compact
and to serve as a governing body for the resolution of all matters
relating to the operation of this compact, a board of compact
administrators is established. The board is composed of one (1)
representative, known as the compact administrator, from each of the
participating states. The compact administrator shall be appointed by
the head of the licensing authority of each participating state and serve
and be subject to removal in accordance with the laws of the state the
compact administrator represents. A compact administrator may
provide for the discharge of the compact administrator's duties and the
performance of the compact administrator's function as a board
member by an alternate. An alternate is not entitled to serve on the
board unless written notification of the alternate's identity has been
given to the board.
(b) Each member of the board of compact administrators is entitled
to one (1) vote. An action of the board is not binding unless taken at a
meeting at which a majority of the total number of the board's votes are
cast in favor of the action. Action by the board must be at a meeting at
which a majority of the participating states are represented.
(c) The board shall elect annually from its membership a chair and
vice chair.
(d) The board shall adopt bylaws consistent with the provisions of
this compact or the laws of a participating state for the conduct of its
business and shall have the power to amend and rescind its bylaws.
(e) The board may accept for any of its purposes and functions
under this compact any and all donations and grants of money,
equipment, supplies, materials, and services conditional or otherwise,
from any state, the United States, or any governmental agency, and may
receive, use, and dispose of the same.
(f) The board may contract with, or accept services or personnel
from, any governmental or intergovernmental agency, individual, firm,
or corporation or any private nonprofit organization or institution.
(g) The board shall formulate all necessary procedures and develop
uniform forms and documents for administering the provisions of this
compact. All procedures and forms adopted under board action must
be contained in a compact manual.
