HR 763 Summary

• Urges Governor Bob Riley and Attorney General Troy King to refrain from pursuing litigation against the federal government to block implementation of comprehensive health care reform legislation approved by Congress and President Barack Obama

• Asserts that the supremacy clause in Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution should take precedence over the 10th Amendment arguments cited by litigation proponents, establishing the federal health care legislation as the "supreme law of the land"

• Characterizes pending lawsuits as "purely partisan and backward-looking" efforts that seek to circumvent the democratic process through litigation rather than through ordinary legislative means

• Directs copies of the resolution be provided to the Governor and Attorney General to communicate the Alabama House of Representatives' position on comprehensive health care reform legislation
