Del. Code tit. 17 § 1712
If the State of New Jersey enacts legislation agreeing to the exact terms of the Delaware-New Jersey Compact, Congress consents thereto and Congress amends 60 Stat. 553 to eliminate the present requirement that the Delaware Memorial Bridge shall become toll free upon payment of the outstanding revenue bonds on or before July 1, 1962, then the said Compact shall become effective on July 1, 1962; but if these events shall not all be completed until after July 1, 1962, then the said Compact shall take effect on the date of the last required event. The first Commissioners from Delaware may take office on or after the date on which said Compact takes effect, but the designation of their terms shall be such that the term of at least 1 Commissioner shall expire each year and each such term shall be computed from July 1, 1962, notwithstanding that the Compact may not become effective until after that date.
