HISTORY

An interstate co mp ac t is a forma l and c ontrac tual agreement b etwee n two or moreSta tes, and ma y inc lude the U.S. Government as a p arty. It originated in the c olonialperiod , and is authorized by the Constitution. Intersta te c om pac ts usua lly req uire thec onsent o f Cong ress, and C ong ress a lwa ys has the a uthority to forbid a c om pac t byspec ific ena c tme nt. The Suprem e Court of the United Sta tes enfo rc es intersta te c om -pac ts, and rec og nizes them as taking p reem inenc e o ver any ordina ry and / or co nflic tingState statute .* Interstate compac ts a re enac ted into State law in each partic ipa ting

jurisd iction , usua lly with identica l word ing.

Highwa y safety c om pac ts are a gree me nts ente red into by Sta tes for the express purposeof resolving mutua l p rob lems in intersta te highw ay tra ffic . Intersta te m oto r vehicular travelc rea tes com plex prob lem s tha t ma y be suc cessfully overcom e through the use o f inter-

state c omp ac ts.

In 1958, Congress adop ted the Bea me r Resolution (Pub lic Law 85-684), which grantedc ong ressiona l ap prova l in a dva nce to interstate c ompa c ts to further highw ay tra fficsafety.

The first m ajor response to the Bea me r Resolution came in 1960, when resolutions urg ingthe fo rma tion o f the a greeme nt we re pa ssed by the Western Interstate Com mittee o nHighway Policy Prob lems and the Western Go vernor’ s Co nference. The Counc il of Sta teGove rnments then beg an drafting w hat w ould bec ome the Driver License Co mp ac t, inc lose c oo peration w ith Sta te mo tor vehicle a dministra tors, the Interna tiona l Assoc ia tion ofChiefs of Police (IACP), the American Assoc iation o f Motor Vehic le Administrato rs

(AAMVA), the Insuranc e Institute fo r Highwa y Safety, and othe r nationa l sa fety o rganiza -tions. Assistanc e and com me nts on subseq uent dra fts we re p rovide d by leg isla tors from avariety of State s and from the Interstate Com pa c t Committee of the Na tiona l Conferenc eof Co mmissione rs on Uniform Sta te Laws.

The Driver License Co mp ac t be c ame a rea lity in 1961, when Neva da bec ame the firstSta te to a dop t it. Mississipp i ente red the DLC in 1962 and the com pac t bec ame a viab leintersta te instrument. Ten a dd itiona l Sta tes joined in 1963, and the num ber grew to 20 by1966.

In Ma rch 1965, the Boa rd of Direc tors of the Ame ric an Assoc ia tion of Moto r Vehicle Ad min-

istra tors approve d a rec om me ndation tha t AAMVA serve as the Sec reta riat for Sta tespartic ipa ting in the Compac t. The Compa c t State s ratified this ac tion.

How eve r, the p rom otion of the Co mp ac t languished for ma ny years. This wa s ove rcom eby NHTSA in 1980 when a contrac t wa s awa rded to the Counc il of Sta te Governme nts tostudy and p rovide rec ommenda tions on how the C ompa c t should be streng thened . Theprima ry rec ommenda tions from the study w ere that a Com pa c t Co mm ission should b eorganized , bylaws ado p ted , and long-term funding a chieved .

*Green v. Bidd le, 21 U.S. (8 Whea t.) 1 (1823). The C ourt held tha t an intersta te c om pac t is superior in force to b oth p rior and subseq uent stat utory law that is in conflict w ith the co mp ac t.
