come shall mutually agree as to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
receiving and caring for such evacuees, for expenditures for transportation, food,
clothing, medicines and medical care, and like items. Such expenditures shall be

evacuees.

(b)       Any party state may withdraw from this compact by enacting a
statute repealing the same, but no such withdrawal shall take effect until 30 days

withdrawing state from obligations assumed hereunder prior to the effective date of
withdrawal.
