427.007. { - (1) - } The Legislative Assembly finds and
declares that { + : + } { - a significant number of persons
with mental retardation or other developmental disabilities
currently reside in state-operated hospitals and training centers
or lack needed services simply because appropriate
community-based services, including residential facilities, day
programs, home care and other support, care and training
programs, do not exist. The Legislative Assembly further finds
that families are the major providers of support, care, training
and other services to their members with mental retardation or
other developmental disabilities who live at home, and many of
these families experience exceptionally high financial outlays
and extraordinary physical and emotional challenges due to the
unavailability of appropriate family support services. Such
services pertain to the needs of the person with a disability,
the needs of other family members related to their care-giving
and nurturing capacity, and specialized needs for environmental
accommodation to reduce dependency of the family member with
mental retardation or another developmental disability.
Therefore, the Department of Human Services is directed to
facilitate the development of appropriate community-based
services, including family support, residential facilities, day
programs, home care and other necessary support, care and
training programs, in an orderly and systematic manner. The role
of state-operated hospitals and training centers in Oregon shall
be as specialized back-up facilities to a primary system of
community-based services for persons with mental retardation or
other developmental disabilities. - }
{ - (2) In carrying out the directive in subsection (1) of
this section, the department shall develop a biennial plan in
conjunction with the budgeting process for review by each
Legislative Assembly. In developing this plan, the department
shall meet with and consider the input of representatives from
the following constituencies: Consumer organizations,
parent-family organizations, advocacy organizations, unions
representing workers in state-operated hospitals and training
centers, community provider organizations, state and local
education officials and community mental health departments or
programs. Such plans shall include, where appropriate: - }
{ - (a) Proposals for the decrease in the number of persons
with mental retardation or other developmental disabilities to be
served in state-operated hospitals and training centers at a
steady and planned rate until such time that the Legislative
Assembly shall determine that each person served in programs or
facilities operated or supported by the department is being
served according to the best contemporary professional practices
in the least restrictive environment, with preference given to
the community-based setting over the institutional. However, no
person shall be moved from any facility until a comprehensive
assessment of the person's medical, treatment, training and
support service needs has been completed, the move determined to
be in the person's best interest and appropriate service
alternatives procured. - }
{ - (b) Proposals for the orderly development of
community-based services, including family support, residential
facilities, day programs, home care and other necessary support,
care and training programs, to accommodate persons coming out of
state-operated hospitals and training centers and to serve
persons already in the community waiting for services. The
proposals shall include services developed for persons in the
community waiting for services that are at least equal in number
to those services developed for those coming out of
state-operated hospitals and training centers, and shall include
services for all persons who are leaving the public education
system, in order to further prevent unnecessary
institutionalization of persons with mental retardation or other
developmental disabilities. Funding for these services shall be
commensurate with individual need. These proposals may include
provisions for an array of both publicly and privately operated
services and shall include specific implementation plans
requiring that new services developed are designed to
significantly increase the independence, productivity and
integration into the community of persons with mental retardation
or developmental disabilities. - }
{ - (c) Proposals for the location of community-based
services for persons with mental retardation or other
developmental disabilities in proximity to family, friends,
supportive services and home communities whenever possible. - }
{ - (3) In further carrying out the directive in subsection
(1) of this section, the department shall develop monitoring and
evaluation systems which ensure competent management, program
quality and cost-effectiveness of community-based services. Such
systems shall include, where appropriate: - }
{ - (a) A comprehensive system of case management which
assures an orderly movement of persons with mental retardation or
other developmental disabilities from state-operated hospitals
and training centers to community-based services, and between
community-based service alternatives, and assures an effective
system of service delivery to persons with mental retardation or
other developmental disabilities living in the community, based
on individualized planning and close cooperation with consumers,
families and guardians. - }
{ - (b) An annual progress assessment of every person with
mental retardation or another developmental disability served in
programs or facilities operated or supported by the department.
This assessment shall measure the degree to which a family with a
member with mental retardation or another developmental
disability demonstrates enhanced care-giving and nurturing
capacities, and the degree to which the independence,
productivity and integration into the community of each person
with mental retardation or another developmental disability has
been increased as a result of receiving such services. The
overall results of these assessments shall annually be aggregated
and analyzed for each program or facility operated or supported
by the department, and shall be made available for public
inspection and review by the Legislative Assembly. - }
{ - (c) The development of specific standards for each
component within the array of services, for persons with mental
retardation or other developmental disabilities, either operated
or supported by the department and assure the competent
management, program quality and cost-effectiveness of such
services. - }
{ - (4) Subject to available funds, the department shall
ensure that each family with a member with mental retardation or
another developmental disability has access to family support
services, and that each person with mental retardation or a
developmental disability living in the community, including those
leaving the public education system, has access to
community-based services necessary to enable the person to strive
to achieve independence, productivity and integration. Specific
services proposed for the person shall be identified in an
individual habilitation plan or in a family support service
plan. - }
{ - (5) Subject to available funds, the department shall
determine the content of individual habilitation plans and family
support service plans, and the process whereby such plans are
developed and updated. - }
{ - (6) The department shall establish grievance procedures
for mediation of disputes concerning eligibility for or
appropriateness of services in individual cases. - }
{ + (1) Individuals with developmental disabilities and
society as a whole benefit when such individuals exercise choice
and self-determination, living and working in the most integrated
community settings, with services that are designed and
implemented consistent with their choices of providers, goals and
activities. Individuals with developmental disabilities, together
with their families and advocates, must play a major role in the
planning, designing, funding, operation and monitoring of
community services. These services ultimately should be focused
on the outcomes of independence, integration and productivity.
(2) Services for families with children with developmental
disabilities must be based upon the principles of choice and
self-determination, with families receiving the assistance they
need to maintain their children at home. If a child with a
developmental disability cannot remain safely at home even with
the services, the child should live in a family-like setting if
at all possible, with the ability to remain closely connected to
the child's family. + }

which a person 65 years of age or older is the victim, made by
the witness after the commission of the alleged misconduct or
abuse at issue. Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this
subsection, such evidence must be confined to the fact that the
complaint was made.
(b) A statement made by a person concerning an act of abuse as
defined in ORS 107.705 or 419B.005, a statement made by a person
concerning an act of abuse of an elderly person, as those terms
are defined in ORS 124.050, or a statement made by a person
concerning a violation of ORS 163.205 or 164.015 in which a
person 65 years of age or older is the victim, is not excluded by
ORS 40.455 if the declarant either testifies at the proceeding
and is subject to cross-examination, or is unavailable as a
witness but was chronologically or mentally under 12 years of age
when the statement was made or was 65 years of age or older when
the statement was made. However, if a declarant is unavailable,
the statement may be admitted in evidence only if the proponent
establishes that the time, content and circumstances of the
statement provide indicia of reliability, and in a criminal trial
that there is corroborative evidence of the act of abuse and of
the alleged perpetrator's opportunity to participate in the
conduct and that the statement possesses indicia of reliability
as is constitutionally required to be admitted. No statement may
be admitted under this paragraph unless the proponent of the
statement makes known to the adverse party the proponent's
intention to offer the statement and the particulars of the
statement no later than 15 days before trial, except for good
cause shown. For purposes of this paragraph, in addition to those
situations described in ORS 40.465 (1), the declarant shall be
considered 'unavailable' if the declarant has a substantial lack
of memory of the subject matter of the statement, is presently
incompetent to testify, is unable to communicate about the abuse
or sexual conduct because of fear or other similar reason or is
substantially likely, as established by expert testimony, to
suffer lasting severe emotional trauma from testifying. Unless
otherwise agreed by the parties, the court shall examine the
declarant in chambers and on the record or outside the presence
of the jury and on the record. The examination shall be conducted
immediately prior to the commencement of the trial in the
presence of the attorney and the legal guardian or other suitable
person as designated by the court. If the declarant is found to
be unavailable, the court shall then determine the admissibility
of the evidence. The determinations shall be appealable under ORS
138.060 (1)(c) or (2)(a). The purpose of the examination shall be
to aid the court in making its findings regarding the
availability of the declarant as a witness and the reliability of
the statement of the declarant. In determining whether a
statement possesses indicia of reliability under this paragraph,
the court may consider, but is not limited to, the following
factors:
(A) The personal knowledge of the declarant of the event;
(B) The age and maturity of the declarant or extent of
disability if the declarant is a person with a developmental
disability;
(C) Certainty that the statement was made, including the
credibility of the person testifying about the statement and any
motive the person may have to falsify or distort the statement;
(D) Any apparent motive the declarant may have to falsify or
distort the event, including bias, corruption or coercion;
(E) The timing of the statement of the declarant;
(F) Whether more than one person heard the statement;
(G) Whether the declarant was suffering pain or distress when
making the statement;
(H) Whether the declarant's young age or disability makes it
unlikely that the declarant fabricated a statement that
represents a graphic, detailed account beyond the knowledge and
experience of the declarant;
(I) Whether the statement has internal consistency or coherence
and uses terminology appropriate to the declarant's age or to the
extent of the declarant's disability if the declarant is a person
with a developmental disability;
(J) Whether the statement is spontaneous or directly responsive
to questions; and
(K) Whether the statement was elicited by leading questions.
(c) This subsection applies to all civil, criminal and juvenile
proceedings.
(d) This subsection applies to a child declarant, a declarant
who is an elderly person as defined in ORS 124.050 or an adult
declarant with a developmental disability. For the purposes of
this subsection, 'developmental disability' means any disability
attributable to { - mental retardation - } { + an
intellectual disability + }, autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy or
other disabling neurological condition that requires training or
support similar to that required by persons with { - mental
retardation - } { + intellectual disabilities + }, if either of
the following apply:
(A) The disability originates before the person attains 22
years of age, or if the disability is attributable to
{ - mental retardation - } { + an intellectual disability + }
the condition is manifested before the person attains 18 years of
age, the disability can be expected to continue indefinitely, and
the disability constitutes a substantial handicap to the ability
of the person to function in society.
(B) The disability results in a significant subaverage general
intellectual functioning with concurrent deficits in adaptive
behavior that are manifested during the developmental period.
(19) Reputation among members of a person's family by blood,
adoption or marriage, or among a person's associates, or in the
community, concerning a person's birth, adoption, marriage,
divorce, death, legitimacy, relationship by blood or adoption or
marriage, ancestry, or other similar fact of a person's personal
or family history.
(20) Reputation in a community, arising before the controversy,
as to boundaries of or customs affecting lands in the community,
and reputation as to events of general history important to the
community or state or nation in which located.
(21) Reputation of a person's character among associates of the
person or in the community.
(22) Evidence of a final judgment, entered after a trial or
upon a plea of guilty, but not upon a plea of no contest,
adjudging a person guilty of a crime other than a traffic
offense, to prove any fact essential to sustain the judgment, but
not including, when offered by the government in a criminal
prosecution for purposes other than impeachment, judgments
against persons other than the accused. The pendency of an appeal
may be shown but does not affect admissibility.
(23) Judgments as proof of matters of personal, family or
general history, or boundaries, essential to the judgment, if the
same would be provable by evidence of reputation.
(24) Notwithstanding the limits contained in subsection (18a)
of this section, in any proceeding in which a child under 12
years of age at the time of trial, or a person with a
developmental disability as described in subsection (18a)(d) of
this section, may be called as a witness to testify concerning an
act of abuse, as defined in ORS 419B.005, or sexual conduct
performed with or on the child or person with a developmental
disability by another, the testimony of the child or person with
a developmental disability taken by contemporaneous examination
and cross-examination in another place under the supervision of
the trial judge and communicated to the courtroom by
closed-circuit television or other audiovisual means. Testimony
will be allowed as provided in this subsection only if the court
finds that there is a substantial likelihood, established by
expert testimony, that the child or person with a developmental
disability will suffer severe emotional or psychological harm if
required to testify in open court. If the court makes such a
finding, the court, on motion of a party, the child, the person
with a developmental disability or the court in a civil
proceeding, or on motion of the district attorney, the child or
the person with a developmental disability in a criminal or
juvenile proceeding, may order that the testimony of the child or
the person with a developmental disability be taken as described
in this subsection. Only the judge, the attorneys for the
parties, the parties, individuals necessary to operate the
equipment and any individual the court finds would contribute to
the welfare and well-being of the child or person with a
developmental disability may be present during the testimony of
the child or person with a developmental disability.

the Oregon State Police pursuant to ORS 813.160 (1)(b)(C) or (E),
or pursuant to ORS 475.235 (4), if the document is produced by
data retrieval from the Law Enforcement Data System or other
computer system maintained and operated by the Oregon State
Police, and the person retrieving the data attests that the
information was retrieved directly from the system and that the
document accurately reflects the data retrieved.
(b) Any document containing data prepared or recorded by the
Oregon State Police that is produced by data retrieval from the
Law Enforcement Data System or other computer system maintained
and operated by the Oregon State Police and that is
electronically transmitted through public or private computer
networks under an electronic signature adopted by the Oregon
State Police if the person receiving the data attests that the
document accurately reflects the data received.
(c) Notwithstanding any statute or rule to the contrary, in any
criminal case in which documents are introduced under the
provisions of this subsection, the defendant may subpoena the
analyst, as defined in ORS 475.235 (6), or other person that
generated or keeps the original document for the purpose of
testifying at the preliminary hearing and trial of the issue.
Except as provided in ORS 44.550 to 44.566, no charge shall be
made to the defendant for the appearance of the analyst or other
person.
(26)(a) A statement that purports to narrate, describe, report
or explain an incident of domestic violence, as defined in ORS
135.230, made by a victim of the domestic violence within 24
hours after the incident occurred, if the statement:
(A) Was recorded, either electronically or in writing, or was
made to a peace officer as defined in ORS 161.015, corrections
officer, youth correction officer, parole and probation officer,
emergency medical technician or firefighter; and
(B) Has sufficient indicia of reliability.
(b) In determining whether a statement has sufficient indicia
of reliability under paragraph (a) of this subsection, the court
shall consider all circumstances surrounding the statement. The
court may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors
in determining whether a statement has sufficient indicia of
reliability:
(A) The personal knowledge of the declarant.
(B) Whether the statement is corroborated by evidence other
than statements that are subject to admission only pursuant to
this subsection.
(C) The timing of the statement.
(D) Whether the statement was elicited by leading questions.
(E) Subsequent statements made by the declarant. Recantation by
a declarant is not sufficient reason for denying admission of a
statement under this subsection in the absence of other factors
indicating unreliability.
(27) A report prepared by a forensic scientist that contains
the results of a presumptive test conducted by the forensic
scientist as described in ORS 475.235, if the forensic scientist
attests that the report accurately reflects the results of the

foregoing exceptions but having equivalent circumstantial
guarantees of trustworthiness, if the court determines that:

is offered than any other evidence that the proponent can procure
through reasonable efforts; and
(C) The general purposes of the Oregon Evidence Code and the
interests of justice will best be served by admission of the

possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico joining therein, in the form
substantially as follows:
_________________________________________________________________
The contracting states solemnly agree that:
ARTICLE I
The party states find that the proper and expeditious treatment
of the mentally ill and mentally deficient can be facilitated by
cooperative action, to the benefit of the patients, their
families, and society as a whole. Further, the party states find
that the necessity of and desirability for furnishing such care
and treatment bears no primary relation to the residence or
citizenship of the patient but that, on the contrary, the
controlling factors of community safety and humanitarianism
require that facilities and services be made available for all
who are in need of them. Consequently, it is the purpose of this
compact and of the party states to provide the necessary legal
basis for the institutionalization or other appropriate care and
treatment of the mentally ill and mentally deficient under a
system that recognizes the paramount importance of patient
welfare and to establish the responsibilities of the party states
in terms of such welfare.
ARTICLE II
As used in this compact:
(a) 'Sending state' shall mean a party state from which a
patient is transported pursuant to the provisions of the compact
or from which it is contemplated that a patient may be so sent.
(b) 'Receiving state' shall mean a party state to which a
patient is transported pursuant to the provisions of the compact
or to which it is contemplated that a patient may be so sent.
(c) 'Institution' shall mean any hospital or other facility
maintained by a party state or political subdivision thereof for
the care and treatment of mental illness or mental deficiency.
(d) 'Patient' shall mean any person subject to or eligible as
determined by the laws of the sending state, for
institutionalization or other care, treatment or supervision
pursuant to the provisions of this compact.
(e) 'After-care' shall mean care, treatment and services
provided a patient, as defined herein, on convalescent status or
conditional release.
(f) 'Mental illness' shall mean mental disease to such extent
that a person so afflicted requires care and treatment for his
own welfare, or the welfare of others, or of the community.
(g) 'Mental deficiency' shall mean mental deficiency as defined
by appropriate clinical authorities to such extent that a person
so afflicted is incapable of managing himself and his affairs,
but shall not include mental illness as defined herein.
(h) 'State' shall mean any state, territory or possession of
the United States, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico.
ARTICLE III
(a) Whenever a person physically present in any party state
shall be in need of institutionalization by reason of mental
illness or mental deficiency, the person shall be eligible for
care and treatment in an institution in that state irrespective
of the residence, settlement or citizenship qualifications of the
person.
(b) The provisions of paragraph (a) of this article to the
contrary notwithstanding, any patient may be transferred to an
institution in another state whenever there are factors based
upon clinical determinations indicating that the care and
treatment of said patient would be facilitated or improved
thereby. Any such institutionalization may be for the entire
period of care and treatment or for any portion or portions
thereof. The factors referred to in this paragraph shall include
the patient's full record with due regard for the location of the
patient's family, character of the illness and probable duration
thereof, and such other factors as shall be considered
appropriate.
(c) No state shall be obliged to receive any patient pursuant
to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this article unless the
sending state has given advance notice of its intention to send
the patient; furnished all available medical and other pertinent
records concerning the patient; given the qualified medical or
other appropriate clinical authorities of the receiving state an
opportunity to examine the patient if said authorities so wish;
and unless the receiving state shall agree to accept the patient.
(d) In the event that the laws of the receiving state establish
a system of priorities for the admission of patients, an
interstate patient under this compact shall receive the same
priority as a local patient and shall be taken in the same order
and at the same time that the patient would be taken if the
patient were a local patient.
(e) Pursuant to this compact, the determination as to the
suitable place of institutionalization for a patient may be
reviewed at any time and such further transfer of the patient may
be made as seems likely to be in the best interest of the
patient.
ARTICLE IV
(a) Whenever, pursuant to the laws of the state in which a
patient is physically present, it shall be determined that the
patient should receive after-care or supervision, such care or
supervision may be provided in a receiving state. If the medical
or other appropriate clinical authorities having responsibility
for the care and treatment of the patient in the sending state
shall have reason to believe that after-care in another state
would be in the best interest of the patient and would not
jeopardize the public safety, they shall request the appropriate
authorities in the receiving state to investigate the
desirability of affording the patient such after-care in said
receiving state, and such investigation shall be made with all
reasonable speed. The request for investigation shall be
accompanied by complete information concerning the patient's
intended place of residence and the identity of the person in
whose charge it is proposed to place the patient, the complete
medical history of the patient, and such other documents as may
be pertinent.
(b) If the medical or other appropriate clinical authorities
having responsibility for the care and treatment of the patient
in the sending state and the appropriate authorities in the
receiving state find that the best interest of the patient would
be served thereby, and if the public safety would not be
jeopardized thereby, the patient may receive after-care or
supervision in the receiving state.
(c) In supervising, treating or caring for a patient on
after-care pursuant to the terms of this article, a receiving
state shall employ the same standards of visitation, examination,
care and treatment that it employs for similar local patients.
ARTICLE V
Whenever a dangerous or potentially dangerous patient escapes
from an institution in any party state, that state shall promptly
notify all appropriate authorities within and without the
jurisdiction of the escape in a manner reasonably calculated to
facilitate the speedy apprehension of the escapee. Immediately
upon the apprehension and identification of any such dangerous or
potentially dangerous patient, the patient shall be detained in
the state where found pending disposition in accordance with law.
ARTICLE VI
The duly accredited officers of any state party to this
compact, upon the establishment of their authority and the
identity of the patient, shall be permitted to transport any
patient being moved pursuant to this compact through any and all
states party to this compact, without interference.
ARTICLE VII
(a) No person shall be deemed a patient of more than one
institution at any given time. Completion of transfer of any
patient to an institution in a receiving state shall have the
effect of making the person a patient of the institution in the
receiving state.
(b) The sending state shall pay all costs of and incidental to
the transportation of any patient pursuant to this compact, but
any two or more party states may, by making a specific agreement
for that purpose, arrange for a different allocation of costs as
among themselves.
(c) No provision of this compact shall be construed to alter or
affect any internal relationships among the departments, agencies
and officers of and in the government of a party state, or
between a party state and its subdivisions, as to the payment of
costs, or responsibilities therefor.
(d) Nothing in this compact shall be construed to prevent any
party state or subdivision thereof from asserting any right
against any person, agency or other entity in regard to costs for
which such party state or subdivision thereof may be responsible
pursuant to any provision of this compact.
(e) Nothing in this compact shall be construed to invalidate
any reciprocal agreement between a party state and a nonparty
state relating to institutionalization, care or treatment of the
mentally ill or mentally deficient, or any statutory authority
pursuant to which such agreements may be made.
ARTICLE VIII
(a) Nothing in this compact shall be construed to abridge,
diminish, or in any way impair the rights, duties and
responsibilities of any patient's guardian on the guardian's own
behalf or in respect of any patient for whom the guardian may
serve, except that where the transfer of any patient to another
jurisdiction makes advisable the appointment of a supplemental or
substitute guardian, any court of competent jurisdiction in the
receiving state may make such supplemental or substitute
appointment and the court which appointed the previous guardian
shall upon being duly advised of the new appointment, and upon
the satisfactory completion of such accounting and other acts as
such court may by law require, relieve the previous guardian of
power and responsibility to whatever extent shall be appropriate
in the circumstances; provided, however, that in the case of any
patient having settlement in the sending state, the court of
competent jurisdiction in the sending state shall have the sole
discretion to relieve a guardian appointed by it or continue the
power and responsibility of the guardian, whichever it shall deem
advisable. The court in the receiving state may, in its
discretion, confirm or reappoint the person or persons previously
serving as guardian in the sending state in lieu of making a
supplemental or substitute appointment.
(b) The term 'guardian' as used in paragraph (a) of this
article shall include any guardian, trustee, legal committee,
conservator or other person or agency however denominated who is
charged by law with responsibility for the property of a patient.
ARTICLE IX
(a) No provision of this compact except Article V shall apply
to any person institutionalized while under sentence in a penal
or correctional institution or while subject to trial on a
criminal charge, or whose institutionalization is due to the
commission of an offense for which, in the absence of mental
illness or mental deficiency, said person would be subject to
incarceration in a penal or correctional institution.
(b) To every extent possible, it shall be the policy of states
party to this compact that no patient shall be placed or detained
in any prison, jail or lockup, but such patient shall, with all
expedition, be taken to a suitable institutional facility for
mental illness or mental deficiency.
ARTICLE X
(a) Each party state shall appoint a 'compact administrator'
who, on behalf of the state of the compact administrator, shall
act as general coordinator of activities under the compact in the
state of the compact administrator and who shall receive copies
of all reports, correspondence, and other documents relating to
any patient processed under the compact by the state of the
compact administrator either in the capacity of sending or
receiving state. The compact administrator or the duly designated
representative of the compact administrator shall be the official
with whom other party states shall deal in any matter relating to
the compact or any patient processed thereunder.
(b) The compact administrators of the respective party states
shall have power to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations
to carry out more effectively the terms and provisions of this
compact.
ARTICLE XI
The duly constituted administrative authorities of any two or
more party states may enter into supplementary agreements for the
provision of any service or facility or for the maintenance of
any institution on a joint or cooperative basis whenever the
states concerned shall find that such agreements will improve
services, facilities, or institutional care and treatment in the
fields of mental illness or mental deficiency. No such
supplementary agreement shall be construed so as to relieve any
party state of any obligation which it otherwise would have under
other provisions of this compact.
ARTICLE XII
This compact shall enter into full force and effect as to any
state when entered into according to law and such state shall
thereafter be a party thereto with any and all states legally
joining therein.
ARTICLE XIII
(a) A state party to this compact may withdraw therefrom as
provided by law and such renunciation shall be by the same
authority which executed it. Such withdrawal shall take effect
one year after notice thereof has been communicated officially
and in writing to the governors and compact administrators of all
other party states. However, the withdrawal of any state shall
not change the status of any patient who has been sent to said
state or sent out of said state pursuant to the provisions of the
compact.
(b) Withdrawal from any agreement permitted by Article VII (b)
as to costs or from any supplementary agreement made pursuant to
Article XI shall be in accordance with the terms of such
agreement.
ARTICLE XIV
This compact shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate
the purposes thereof. The provisions of this compact shall be
severable and if any phrase, clause, sentence or provision of
this compact is declared to be contrary to the constitution of
any party state or of the United States or the applicability
thereof to any government, agency, person or circumstance is held
invalid, the validity of the remainder of this compact and the
applicability thereof to any government, agency, person or
circumstance shall not be affected thereby. If this compact shall
be held contrary to the constitution of any state party thereto,
the compact shall remain in full force and effect as to the
remaining states and in full force and effect as to the state
affected as to all severable matters.
