AL HB525

Affirms Alabama's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment, which reserves to states all powers not delegated to the federal government.

Cites Supreme Court precedent from New York v. United States (1992) and Printz v. United States (1997) establishing that Congress cannot commandeer state legislative processes and that states retain "dual sovereignty."

Declares Alabama retains exclusive power to regulate within its boundaries, subject only to the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of due process and equal protection.

Establishes the duty of the Alabama Legislature to adopt measures preventing wrongful enforcement of federal laws or regulations that infringe on state sovereignty.

Serves as notice demanding the federal government cease activities outside its constitutionally enumerated powers and cease commandeering rights belonging to Alabama or its people.

Takes effect on the first day of the third month following passage and approval by the Governor.
