(a) The interstate commission, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, shall enforce the provisions and rules of the compact.
(b) The interstate commission, by majority vote of the commissioners, may initiate legal action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, or, at the discretion of the interstate commission, in the federal district where the interstate commission has its principal offices, to enforce compliance with the provisions of the compact, and its promulgated rules and bylaws, against a member state in default. The relief sought may include both injunctive relief and damages. In the event judicial enforcement is necessary, the prevailing party, which is expressly limited to the interstate commission or a member state, shall be awarded all costs of such litigation including reasonable attorney's fees, but this provision does not apply to third parties or private citizens.
(c) The remedies herein shall not be the exclusive remedies of the interstate commission. The interstate commission may avail itself of any other remedies available under state law or the regulation of a profession.
