The Kansas-Missouri Air Quality Compact is hereby entered into and enacted into law with the state of Kansas, in the form substantially as follows:
KANSAS-MISSOURI AIR QUALITY COMPACT
The air resources of the area subject to the jurisdiction of the commission are common to Kansas and Missouri, and the uses of these resources are interdependent. A single agency is therefore essential for effective and economical direction, supervision and coordination of efforts and programs of federal, state and local governments and of private enterprise.
The signatory states recognize that the discharge into the ambient air of air contaminants so as to cause or contribute to air pollution is contrary to public policy; that air contaminants originating in one state may contribute to the degradation of air quality in the other; and that such degradation may present a hazard to the health, welfare and enjoyment of life and property of the people of both states. It is the purpose of the signatory states, by achieving uniform application of air pollution control regulations, to maintain purity of the common air resources, to protect the health, general welfare and physical property of the people, and to foster maximum employment and full industrial development of the state. Each state, and the commission hereinafter created, shall seek the accomplishment of these objectives through the prevention, abatement and control of air pollution by all practical and economically feasible methods.
The petition for review shall be filed within thirty days after receipt of written notice that such order has been issued. Written notice of the filing of such petition for review and a copy of said petition shall be personally served upon the commission. Within fifteen days after filing the petition, the petitioner shall secure from the commission a certified copy of the transcript of any hearing or hearings held in connection with the issuance of the order, the review of which is sought, and file the same with the clerk of the court in which the proceeding for review is pending. An extension of time in which to file such transcript may be granted by the court for good cause shown. Inability to obtain the transcript within the specified time shall be good cause. Failure to file the transcript within fifteen days, or to secure an extension of time therefor, shall be cause for the dismissal of the petition. Where more than one party may be aggrieved by the order only one proceeding for review may be had, and the court in which a petition for review is first properly filed shall have jurisdiction.
