Lant: “Repeal Amendment” Would Give States Power To Repeal Overreaching Federal Laws

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Representative Bill Lant (R131) joined 20 colleagues in the Missouri House of Representatives Tuesday to propose a House Joint Resolution [HCR9] calling a federal constitutional amendment authorizing states to band together to reject overreaching federal laws and regulations.

The Repeal Amendment would add the following language to the federal constitution:

“Any provision of law or regulation of the United States may be repealed by the several states, and such repeal shall be effective when the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states approve resolutions for this purpose that particularly describe the same provision or provisions of law or regulation to be repealed.”


“This is a timely amendment,” Rep. Lant said. “The re-instatement of States Rights is long overdue.”
