ARTICLE VIII

FINANCE

A. The Interstate Commission shall pay or provide for the

payment of the reasonable expenses of its establishment,

organization and ongoing activities.

B. The Interstate Commission shall levy on and collect an

annual assessment from each compacting state to cover the cost of

the internal operations and activities of the Interstate Commission

and its staff which must be in a total amount sufficient to cover

the Interstate Commission’s annual budget as approved each year.

The aggregate annual assessment amount shall be allocated based upon

a formula to be determined by the Interstate Commission, taking into

consideration the population of each compacting state and the volume

of interstate movement of juveniles in each compacting state and

shall promulgate a rule binding upon all compacting states which

governs said assessment.

C. The Interstate Commission shall not incur any obligations of

any kind prior to securing the funds adequate to meet the same; nor

shall the Interstate Commission pledge the credit of any of the

compacting states, except by and with the authority of the

compacting state.

D. The Interstate Commission shall keep accurate accounts of

all receipts and disbursements. The receipts and disbursements of

the Interstate Commission shall be subject to the audit and

accounting procedures established under its bylaws. However, all

receipts and disbursements of funds handled by the Interstate

Commission shall be audited yearly by a certified or licensed public

accountant and the report of the audit shall be included in and

become part of the annual report of the Interstate Commission.
