State is only intended beneficiary of agreement; no individual
causes of action
Sec. 9. (a) The agreement authorized by this chapter binds and
inures only to the benefit of the state of Indiana and the other
member states. No person, other than a member state, is an intended
beneficiary of the agreement. Any benefit to a person other than a
state is established by the law of the state of Indiana and the other
member states and not by the terms of the agreement.
(b) Consistent with subsection (a), no person shall have any cause
of action or defense under the agreement or by virtue of the state of
Indiana's approval of the agreement. No person may challenge, in any
action brought under any provision of law, any action or inaction by
any department, agency, or other instrumentality of the state of
Indiana, or any political subdivision of the state of Indiana on the
grounds that the action or inaction is inconsistent with the agreement.
(c) No law of Indiana, or the application thereof, may be declared
invalid as to any person or circumstance on the grounds that the
provision or application is inconsistent with the agreement.
