1. a. With the prior or subsequent
  consent of the congress of the United States, the governor is authorized
  to  enter  into,  amend, supplement and implement agreements or compacts
  with the executive authorities of  other  states  and  the  Dominion  of
  Canada  and  any of the provinces thereof, providing for mutual military
  aid, and matters incidental  thereto,  in  case  of  invasion  or  other
  hostile action, disaster, insurrection, or imminent danger thereof.
    b. Such agreements or compacts may include but shall not be limited to
  provisions  for  joint  military  action against a common enemy; for the
  protection  of  bridges,  tunnels,  ferries,  pipelines,   communication
  facilities and other vital installations, plants and facilities; for the
  military  support  of  civil defense agencies; for the fresh pursuit, by
  the organized militia or military  forces  or  any  part  thereof  of  a
  signatory  into  the  jurisdiction  of  any  other signatory, of persons
  acting or appearing to act in the interest of any  enemy  government  or
  seeking  or  appearing to seek to overthrow the government of the United
  States or of any signatory; for the powers, duties,  rights,  privileges
  and  immunities  of  the  members  of  the organized militia or military
  forces of any signatory while so engaged outside their own jurisdiction;
  for such other matters as  are  of  a  military  nature,  or  incidental
  thereto,  and which the governor may deem necessary or proper to promote
  the health, safety and welfare of the people  of  this  state;  for  the
  allocation  of  all  costs  and  expenses  arising from the planning and
  operation of such agreements or compacts.
    2. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed or interpreted
  as expressing a limitation, directly or indirectly, of the power of  the
  governor  to enter into, and to amend or supplement, such compacts, with
  legal  force  and  effect  and  without  the  legislative  authorization
  expressed herein.
