In the United States, an interstate compact is a legally binding pact or agreement between two or more states, or between states and any foreign sub-national government. Common reasons for creating interstate compacts include resolving boundary disputes, cooperative management of infrastructure, and reducing administrative barriers. Interstate compacts are subject to congressional regulation. The history of interstate compacts ranges from treaties that predate the Constitution to the present day.
