(Photo courtesy of National Conference of State Legislatures)<\/p>\n<p><span>A new group of bipartisan state legislative leaders issued a declaration at their first meeting calling for a renewed focus on states\u2019 rights and an end to federal intrusion into state laws.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Assembly of State Legislative Leaders, which includes more than 40 lawmakers from 30 states, unanimously approved a 449-word declaration on the importance of states\u2019 ability to legislate independently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The document, released on Tuesday at the bipartisan group\u2019s inaugural meeting in Columbus, Ohio, noted that the U.S. Constitution did not create the states, \u201cbut rather the states created the Constitution, ratifying a framework in which we would both govern collectively and independently.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Federalism is a foundational <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/browse\/essay\/intro.7-3\/ALDE_00000032\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>constitutional concept <\/span><\/a><span>outlining the sharing of power between states and the federal government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The lawmakers\u2019 declaration says federal agency rules, congressional legislation and executive orders must respect the constitutional division of powers and allow states to<\/span><span> pass a diverse array of legislation<\/span><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The document says adherence to federalism is the key to \u201crestore the balance between the federal government and state legislatures, <\/span><span>ensure collaboration that respects state roles and limits unnecessary federal intrusion into state sovereignty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It opposes federal preemption of state laws except when \u201ca direct conflict with the Constitution arises or the issue cannot be effectively addressed at the state level.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The newly formed group underscores growing tension between the federal government and states.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last week, for example, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aiming to override state laws regulating artificial intelligence. State lawmakers of both parties said they will continue to file legislation on the issue and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/stateline.org\/2025\/12\/12\/states-will-keep-pushing-ai-laws-despite-trumps-efforts-to-stop-them\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>push back <\/span><\/a><span>on the president\u2019s effort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The National Conference of State Legislatures, which represents state legislatures and legislative staff across the country, helped organize the new group. NCSL in September wrote to federal leaders, citing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/stateline.org\/2025\/09\/18\/state-lawmakers-ask-trump-administration-to-end-its-review-of-state-regs\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>bipartisan concern<\/span><\/a><span> about recent federal actions that the group said attempted to undermine the authority of state governments. It opposed a Trump administration review of state laws believed to be overly burdensome for businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This week in Ohio, state lawmakers discussed a variety of issues related to federalism, including Medicaid, education and land management, according to NCSL. Ohio Republican state House Speaker Matt Huffman was elected as presiding officer of the new assembly, with Hawaii Democratic state Senate President Ron Kouchi elected as recording secretary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe have accomplished the first of what I hope is a long list of future declarations from state legislative leaders,\u201d Huffman said in a statement. \u201cThis meeting was a first of its kind, and I\u2019m hopeful we will continue these conversations across the nation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kouchi characterized the meeting as \u201ca good beginning.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI am pleased the top state legislative leaders from both parties were able to come together and have a candid, practical conversation about how we can better preserve and strengthen the role of the states within our constitutional framework,\u201d he said in the statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Stateline reporter Kevin Hardy can be reached at <\/span><\/i><a href=\"mailto:khardy@stateline.org\"><i><span>khardy@stateline.org<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"snrPubNote\">\n<p>This story was originally produced by <a href=\"https:\/\/stateline.org\/2025\/12\/16\/respect-states-rights-new-bipartisan-group-of-legislative-leaders-tells-feds\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stateline<\/a>, which is part of States Newsroom, a nonprofit news network which includes Missouri Independent, and is supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 40 legislative leaders from 30-plus states met at the inaugural Assembly of State Legislative Leaders in Columbus, Ohio, this week.
