32:22B-8. Use of existing information; duty of governmental agencies to furnish information; service on advisory committees
To avoid duplication of effort and in the interests of economy, the commission shall make use of existing studies, surveys, plans, data and other materials in the possession of the governmental agencies of the party states and their respective political subdivisions. Each such agency is hereby authorized to make such materials available to the commission and otherwise to assist it in the performance of its functions. At the request of the commission, each such agency which is engaged in land use or development planning, or which is charged with the duty of providing or regulating any transportation facility or any other public facility, is further authorized to provide the commission with information regarding its plans and programs affecting the compact region so that the commission may have available to it current information with respect thereto. The officers and personnel of such agencies, and of any other government or agency whatever, may serve at the request of the commission upon such advisory committees and panels as the commission shall determine to create; and such officers and personnel may serve upon such committees and panels without forfeiture of office or employment and with no loss or diminution in the status, rights and privileges which they otherwise enjoy.
