§ 7703. Interstate arrangements.
(a) General rule.--Upon finding that a vulnerable area lies only partly within this Commonwealth and includes territory in another state or states or territory in a foreign jurisdiction and that it would be desirable to establish an interstate relationship, mutual aid or an area organization for disaster emergency services, the Governor shall take steps to that end as desirable.
(b) Negotiation and status of agreements.--If this action is taken with jurisdictions that have enacted the Interstate Civil Defense and Disaster Compact, any resulting agreement or agreements may be considered supplemental agreements pursuant to Article 6 of that compact. If the other jurisdiction or jurisdictions with which the Governor proposes to cooperate pursuant to subsection (a) have not enacted that compact, the Governor may negotiate special agreements with the jurisdiction or jurisdictions.
(c) Legislative approval of agreements.--Any agreement, if sufficient authority for the making thereof does not otherwise exist, becomes effective only after its text has been communicated to the General Assembly and provided that neither House of the General Assembly has disapproved it by adjournment of the next ensuing session competent to consider it or within 30 days of its submission, whichever is longer.
