§ 25-22.5-16-16 — Compact enforcement

(a) The executive, legislative, and judicial
branches of state government in each member state shall enforce the
compact and shall take all actions necessary and appropriate to
effectuate the compact's purposes and intent. The provisions of the
compact and the rules adopted under this compact shall have standing
as statutory law but shall not override existing state authority to
regulate the practice of medicine.
(b) All courts shall take judicial notice of the compact and the rules
in any judicial or administrative proceeding in a member state
pertaining to the subject matter of the compact that may affect the
powers, responsibilities, or actions of the interstate commission.
(c) The interstate commission shall be entitled to receive all service
of process in any such proceeding, and shall have standing to intervene
in the proceeding for all purposes. Failure to provide service of process
to the interstate commission shall render a judgment or order void as
to the interstate commission, the compact, or adopted rules.
