Editor's Note
Section 12 of Act 176 of 1987, as amended by Section 2 of 1988 Act No. 679, provides that:
"This act takes effect upon enactment by the State of North Carolina and upon approval by the Congress of the United States. Either North Carolina or South Carolina may withdraw from this compact by enacting a statute repealing the same, but no withdrawal is effective until the Governor of the withdrawing state has sent formal notice in writing to the Governor of each other party state informing the Governors of the action of the legislature in repealing the compact and declaring an intention to withdraw. This withdrawal is effective on a date set by the withdrawing state, but not less than ninety days after enactment of the withdrawal statute. In case of the withdrawal, the property of the commission must be divided in an equitable manner by the commission as if dissolution had occurred under Section 2 of this act".
