Requires the state to pass enabling legislation before entering into any compact, program or other legal agreement with any other state

This bill (A 307) requires New York State to pass specific enabling legislation before entering any agreement with another state or foreign government that affects New York residents. It mandates that all compacts, programs, or legal agreements imposing regulatory requirements on residents must first be approved through a separate legislative act. Any agreement entered without this enabling law would be invalid ("null and void"). The bill directly affects state agencies and officials responsible for negotiating interstate agreements, ensuring legislative oversight before such commitments take effect.
