The Palisades Interstate Park Compact is an interstate compact between New Jersey and New York. It also carries congressional consent. The compact was designed to protect the Palisades of the Hudson River. The compact created the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, which manages more than 120,000 acres of forest, wildlife habitats, and cultural resources in the two states.[1][2]
Text of the compact
The legislature of each member state passes the laws with certain modifications, but the core of the legislation remains the same.
