Bill > HR33

This resolution affirms support for California's request to divide into two states, based on several key premises outlined in its preamble. The resolution argues that citizens in different regions of California have long been frustrated by laws and regulations passed by more populous areas that they oppose, and that the right to self-determination is a fundamental principle of American democracy. The resolution suggests that dividing California into two states would create more responsive and representative governance, potentially generating competition that could lead to more efficient government. Specifically, the New Hampshire House of Representatives supports the California Assembly Joint Resolution 23 regarding state division and instructs the house clerk to send copies of this resolution to New Hampshire's Congressional delegation. While the resolution is supportive in tone, it does not itself have the power to create a new state, but rather serves as a statement of legislative support for California's potential division.
