A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, providing for interstate compacts.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment limiting Pennsylvania's participation in multi-state agreements (interstate compacts) to 10-year terms. It requires the state legislature to reauthorize such compacts before each general election occurring before the agreement's expiration, preventing automatic extensions. The amendment would change how Pennsylvania enters into long-term multi-state partnerships, ensuring periodic legislative review of these agreements. It does not alter existing compacts but sets a new framework for future ones.
