Bill Summary

AI Summary

This bill proposes resolutions from the General Court of Massachusetts to the members of the U.S. Congress, urging them to adopt the "Wyoming Rule" to expand the membership of the House of Representatives. The Wyoming Rule would increase the number of representatives proportional to the population of the least populous state, which is currently Wyoming with one representative. The bill argues that maintaining the House membership at 435 has not resulted in the most proportional distribution of representatives among the states.
