Legal and geographic scope
Current official section, opened 4 October 2026. Idaho enacts the Western Interstate Nuclear Compact and enters it as a party. The compact's stated purpose is cooperation among party states on nuclear and related scientific and technological resources. The history line says the section was added in 1969, chapter 34, section 1, page 61. No day is printed. The compact is not a site certificate or a construction permit.
Not approved or still pending
No day is printed. The 1969 history line is the year the section was added, not an effective date. The compact text says it shall not become initially effective until enacted into law by five states, and this page does not say when that happened. The section says the compact is in full force and effect between Idaho and any other state joining under its terms. The compact does not approve a reactor, name an Idaho site, or appropriate funds. Executive Order 2024-10 was saved without extractable words and is not part of this record.
