IL HR0067

Illinois House of Representatives claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment over all powers not enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution.

Resolution states intention to ensure all government agencies operating within Illinois or affecting its inhabitants, lands, or water operate within the original intent of the Constitution.

Resolution serves notice to the federal government to maintain the constitutional balance of powers between federal and state authority.

Resolution cites U.S. Supreme Court precedent in New York v. United States (1992) and Printz v. United States (1997) establishing that Congress cannot commandeer state legislative processes and that states retain sovereign powers.

Copies of the resolution shall be delivered to the President, U.S. Senate President pro tempore, U.S. House Speaker, and all Illinois congressional delegation members.
