HB1282 creates a committee, appointed by legislative management, with the purpose of acting on federal nullification and whether to nullify the entire statute, regulation, or executive order in its entirety. The committee may review any existing federal statute, regulation, or executive order enacted before the effective date of this section and shall recommend whether to nullify the rule or law.
The Senate passed HB1282 on March 31, 2021 by a vote of 32 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and every state is bound by oath to support it. Ultimately, the states have a duty to nullify any infringements by the federal government.
