Died when the session ended The 2026 session adjourned on May 3, 2026, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died. What’s a funnel?

What’s in it

AI summary Right now, the state's power is limited by the national government's ability to establish itself. This change would mean the state's power is only limited by the national government's rights to public lands or military and naval bases.1

Read the official explanation

Under current law, state sovereignty is subject to the United States’ rights to public lands or to an establishment of the national government. This bill modifies the limits of state sovereignty to make state sovereignty subject only to the United States’ rights to public lands or to military and naval establishments.
