This compact is the Maine enactment of the Interstate Counseling Compact. The form, format and text of the compact have been changed minimally so as to conform to Maine statutory conventions. The changes are technical in nature and it is the intent of the Legislature that this compact be interpreted as substantively the same as the Interstate Counseling Compact that is enacted by other member states. [PL 2021, c. 547, §1 (NEW).]
