AI Summary
- Urges the President of the United States to negotiate removal of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) provisions from the North American Free Trade Agreement
- States ISDS provisions allow foreign investors to bypass U.S. domestic courts and challenge the U.S. government directly before international arbitration tribunals, a right not available to U.S. companies
- Asserts ISDS panels lack democratic selection and public accountability, are not required to consider U.S. law principles, and need not weigh public interest against investor rights claims
- Contends that non-discriminatory laws and regulations adopted for public purposes should not violate investment agreements even if they affect foreign investors' expectations
- Directs the House Clerk to transmit an authenticated copy of the resolution to the President of the United States and Ohio news media
