The Susquehanna River Basin Commission was
created upon the enactment of the Susquehanna
River Basin Compact by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, the states of New York and Maryland,
and Congress. Maryland ratified the Compact in
1967 (Chapter 391, Acts of 1967). The Commis-
sion superseded the Interstate Advisory Committee
on the Susquehanna River Basin.
Based in Pennsylvania, the Commission formu-
lates plans, policies, and projects for water resources
development, conservation, and management of
the Basin. The annual report of the Commission is
available on request.
The Commission consists of the governor from
each signatory state and one member appointed by
the President of the United States to serve at the
pleasure of the President (Code Natural Resources
Article, sec. 8-301).

The National Conference of Commissioners on
Uniform State Laws was created by interstate com-
pact in 1892. The Conference promotes uniform legis-

ladon designed to solve problems common to all
states. Commissioners representing state govern-
ment and the legal profession draft proposals, then
work for their adoption by the states.
The Conference also designs model acts to pro-
vide states with a concisely structured legislative
framework adaptable to particular needs and
problems, when uniformity is neither practical nor
necessary

renamed the State Commission on Uniform State
Laws (Code State Government Article, sees. 9-201

State Laws. The Commissioners serve on commit-
tees that draft laws for submission to the legislatures
