Interstate compacts are agreements between two or more states, often to address shared concerns or manage resources collaboratively. While they typically involve states working together, some compacts can also involve the federal government or even private entities, depending on the nature of the issue being addressed. However, the majority of interstate compacts are primarily between states, allowing them to cooperate on matters such as environmental regulations, transportation, and resource management. Importantly, these agreements require congressional approval if they encroach on federal authority.

States are enjoying ever increasing opportunities to work cooperatively to address interstate issues. The last two decades have seen resurgence in the development of new interstate compacts and the revision of existing, though outdated, compacts. As a tool reserved exclusively for the states, interstate compacts can provide states the means to address state problems with state solutions, avoiding federal intervention and preemption. Interstate compacts are one of the most powerful, durable, and adaptive tools for promoting and ensuring cooperative action among the states. As one of the oldest mechanisms available for states to work together, their use predates the founding of the nation. Unlike federally imposed mandates that often dictate unfunded and rigid requirements, interstate compacts provide a state-developed structure and solution for collaborative and dynamic action among the states. The very nature of an interstate compact makes it the ideal tool to meet the demand for cooperative state action, to develop and enforce stringent standards and provide an adaptive structure for states that can evolve to meet new and changing demands over time. A distinctly American invention, interstate compacts promote multi-state problem solving in the face of complex public policy and Federal intervention.
