Need to Search Interstate Compacts?

The National Center for Interstate Compacts Database is a great place to start if you need to research interstate compacts.  An interstate compact is an agreement between two or more states.  Those agreements which would increase the power of states at the expense of the federal government require approval of Congress.

The National Center for Interstate Compacts assists states in the review, revision, and creation of new interstate compacts as solutions to multi-state problems or alternatives to federal preemption.

The database allows users to search more than 1,500 statutes for state-by-state interstate compact membership.  Search via the interactive map or advanced search options. Once located, the compact statutory language is available as a PDF.
