The "Interstate Driver’s License Compact" is a contract between states that enforces an out of state DUI arrest by agreeing to honor the license suspension requirements in the state in which the DUI took place. This means that if you're arrested and convicted of a DUI in another state, that state canrequest a license suspension effective in your home state. However, the effect on your driver’s license will depend on your state’s DUI policies and laws.
