HB 1620 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Allows the house of representatives to review presidential orders and declare them unconstitutional

This bill allows the House of Representatives to review presidential executive orders and recommend that the state attorney general investigate whether they violate the U.S. Constitution. If the attorney general finds an order unconstitutional, the bill prohibits state agencies and officials from enforcing it, with specific exceptions for matters involving public health emergencies, natural resources, agriculture, land use, financial ESG standards, and gun rights. The measure directly affects state government operations by creating a formal process for the legislature to challenge federal directives before they are implemented locally.
