• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 5: STATE AND LOCAL ADMINISTRATION
• Art. 25: INTERSTATE JOBS PROTECTION COMPACT
• Ch. 2: Compact

Text

The party states find the following:
(1) The protection of existing jobs from unnecessary interstate
relocation is vital to the economy and well being of every state.
(2) The effects of the unnecessary interstate relocation of jobs
present special problems that can be properly approached only
with due consideration for the rights and interests of the business,
those involved with the business, and the public.
(3) Measures for the reduction of the adverse effects of
unnecessary interstate job relocation may be costly, and the
devising of means to deal with them are of both public and private
concern.
(4) The states are in a position and have the responsibility to
assure that the protection of jobs shall be conducted in accordance
with regard to the principles of fiscal responsibility and with
consideration for local conditions.
(5) There is a vital need for the development of greater
interjurisdictional cooperation to achieve the necessary uniformity
in the laws, rules, regulations, and codes relating to job protection
and to accomplish this by means that minimize the time between
the development and the enactment of such laws, rules,
regulations, and codes.
