Interstate Commissions are organizations formed by states to address issues that cross state lines, such as education, transportation, and environmental protection. These commissions facilitate cooperation and coordination among states, ensuring that policies and regulations are consistent and effective across borders. Each commission is typically created through an interstate compact, which is a legally binding agreement between states. This allows states to work together on shared challenges, share resources, and develop best practices. Examples include the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision and the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children.
