House State Affairs committee introduces RS32026C1 to clarify private‑counsel language
Summary
The House State Affairs committee voted to introduce RS32026C1, an updated resolution that revises language around "private counsel" and outlines a process for citizens to appear before the Constitutional Defense Council when facing federal suits, sponsors said.
The House State Affairs Committee voted to introduce RS32026C1 after Representative Bruce described edits to clarify references to "private counsel."
Representative Bruce, who identified himself at the meeting as being from District 23, said the updated resolution modifies language that previously read "private attorney general" and now reads "private counsel and or attorney general," and that the word "counsel" had been misspelled in the earlier draft. "This bill just creates the process for citizens to come before the Constitutional Defense Council ... when being essentially brought a lawsuit by the federal government," he said.
Representative Dygert moved to introduce RS32026C1. With no recorded discussion following the motion, the committee chair called for the voice vote; committee members responded "aye," and the chair said, "Opposed, nay. The motion is carried. It will be done." The motion passed and the measure was introduced.
The transcript did not record a roll‑call tally or identify any members who voted against the motion.
