§ 14002 State Compact Withdrawal Process

This law says the state stays in an agreement until the legislature passes a new law to end it, and the governor must formally notify others if they want to leave.

Key Takeaways

•The state cannot exit the agreement by itself; it needs a new law from the legislature.
•The legislature must create a law that explains how to discontinue participation.
•Once that law exists, the governor must deliver a formal notice of withdrawal.

Example

The state wants to leave a multi-state water-sharing agreement

First the legislature must pass a law that sets out how the state can stop being part of the agreement. After that law is passed, the governor must send a notice to the other states saying the state is withdrawing.

Participation by this State in this compact shall continue until the Legislature otherwise provides by law. Notice of intention to withdraw from such compact shall be executed and transmitted by the Governor after the Legislature provides by law for discontinuance of participation therein by this State. (Enacted by Stats. 1957, Ch. 456.)
