     116Q.01 Great Lakes protection fund. 

    The Great Lakes protection fund has been created by the 
 governors of the eight Great Lakes states as a nonprofit 
 corporation under the laws of the state of Illinois.  The fund 
 is a permanent endowment whose purpose is to advance the 
 principles, goals, and objectives of the Great Lakes toxic 
 substances control agreement executed by the governors of the 
 eight Great Lakes states in May 1986 and to ensure the 
 continuous development of needed scientific information, new 
 cleanup technologies, and innovative methods of managing 
 pollution problems as a cooperative effort in the Great Lakes 
 region.  The governor may enter this state as a member of the 
 Great Lakes protection fund and do all things necessary or 
 incidental to participate in the fund, as spelled out in its 
 articles of incorporation, filed with the Illinois secretary of 
 state on or about September 26, 1989, and its bylaws, as amended 
 through September 26, 1989.  If congressional consent to the 
 Great Lakes protection fund carries with it conditions that 
 materially change the provisions agreed to by the party states, 
 this state reserves the option to terminate further 
 participation in the fund.
