14. a. (1) Once effective, the compact shall continue in force and remain binding upon each compacting state; however, a compacting state may withdraw from the compact by repealing the statute which enacted the compact into law. (2) The effective date of withdrawal is the effective date of the repealing statute. However, the withdrawal shall not apply to any product filings approved or self-certified, or any advertisement of those products, prior to or on the date the repealing statute becomes effective, except by mutual agreement of the commission and the withdrawing state unless the approval is rescinded by the withdrawing state as provided in paragraph (5) of this subsection. (3) The commissioner of the withdrawing state shall immediately notify the management committee in writing upon the introduction of legislation repealing this compact in the withdrawing state. (4) The commission shall notify the other compacting states of the introduction of such legislation within 10 days after its receipt of notice thereof. (5) The withdrawing state is responsible for all obligations, duties, and liabilities incurred through the effective date of withdrawal, including any obligations, the performance of which extend beyond the effective date of withdrawal, except to the extent those obligations may have been released or relinquished by mutual agreement of the commission and the withdrawing state. The commission's approval of products and advertisements prior to the effective date of withdrawal shall continue to be effective and be given full effect in the withdrawing state, unless formally rescinded by the withdrawing state in the same manner as provided by the laws of the withdrawing state for the prospective disapproval of products or advertisements previously approved under state law. (6) Reinstatement following withdrawal of any compacting state shall occur upon the effective date of the withdrawing state reenacting the compact. b. (1) If the commission determines that any compacting state has at any time defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations or responsibilities under the compact, the bylaws, or duly promulgated rules or operating procedures, then, after notice and hearing as set forth in the bylaws, all rights, privileges, and benefits conferred by the compact on the defaulting state shall be suspended from the effective date of default as fixed by the commission. The grounds for default include, but are not limited to, failure of a compacting state to perform its obligations or responsibilities, and any other grounds designated in commission rules. The commission shall immediately notify the defaulting state in writing of the defaulting state's suspension pending a cure of the default. The commission shall stipulate the conditions and the time period within which the defaulting state shall cure its default. If the defaulting state fails to cure the default within the time period specified by the commission, the defaulting state shall be terminated from the compact and all rights, privileges, and benefits conferred by the compact shall be terminated from the effective date of termination. (2) Product approvals by the commission or product self-certifications, or any advertisement in connection with that product, that are in force on the effective date of termination shall remain in force in the defaulting state in the same manner as if the defaulting state had withdrawn voluntarily pursuant to subsection a. of this section. (3) Reinstatement following termination of any compacting state shall require a reenactment of the compact. c. (1) The compact shall dissolve effective upon the date of the withdrawal or default of the compacting state which reduces membership in the compact to one compacting state. (2) Upon the dissolution of the compact, the compact shall become void and shall be of no further effect, and the business and affairs of the commission shall be completed, and any surplus funds shall be distributed in accordance with the bylaws.
