MS HB490

Declares that Mississippi's admission to the Union in 1817 established a compact reserving powers to the state under the Tenth Amendment, limiting federal authority to enumerated powers in Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

Creates the Joint Legislative Committee on the Neutralization of Federal Laws comprised of the Lieutenant Governor, Speaker, and 12 legislators to review federal statutes, mandates, and executive orders for constitutionality.

Authorizes the Mississippi Legislature to vote by simple majority to "neutralize" (nullify within the state) any federal law or executive action deemed unconstitutional or beyond federal power, with no state obligation to enforce such measures.

Directs the state legislature to enact measures preventing enforcement of neutralized federal laws within Mississippi and establishes the U.S. Supreme Court as sole jurisdiction for disputes between the state and federal government over neutralization decisions.

Requires the state to send a certified copy of the act to the President, Congress, and Mississippi's congressional delegation for entry into the congressional record.
