HOUSE BILL 464
RS31090 / H0464
This legislation is titled Interstate Compact for Border Security. This legislation will provide legislative approval for the Governor to enter into a formal compact with other states to take action to secure the international borders of the United States. Normally the Constitution of the United Sates requires congressional approval before a compact between states is effective. However, there is an exception to this requirement at Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 when an invasion is taking place or when there are circumstances that must be addressed immediately and there is no time to wait for the congressional process.
The Interstate Compact For Border Security falls in this exceptions authority and will empower our governor to take action quickly when such action is necessary and a delay in response on the part of the governor would be detrimental to Idaho and or to the other state with which we have entered into this compact.
This legislation expends no money, nor does it require any action on the part of the state. The legislation only provides authority for Idaho to enter into an interstate compact with others of the several states.
