The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Senate and House of Representatives expressing support for the admission of Washington, D.C., as a state in the United States. It outlines the historical context of D.C.'s governance, highlighting the lack of full representation and self-governance for its residents despite their contributions as U.S. citizens. The resolution notes that a significant majority of D.C. voters have expressed a desire for statehood and references previous legislative efforts, including the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, which have not yet resulted in statehood.
Additionally, the resolution calls for Congress and the President to cease interference with D.C.'s local self-government and Home Rule, specifically criticizing federal actions that amend or repeal local laws and impose budget restrictions. It concludes by urging federal legislation to grant statehood to the people of Washington, D.C., and mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to key federal officials and the Montana Congressional Delegation.
