This resolution expresses support for California's request to divide into two separate states. It highlights the frustrations of citizens and regions that feel overruled by laws and regulations imposed by more populous areas. The resolution emphasizes the principle of self-determination and federalism, arguing that creating smaller political entities would lead to governance that is more responsive and representative of the citizens' needs.
Furthermore, the resolution posits that dividing California into two states would foster competition in governance, resulting in more efficient and effective government services. The New Hampshire House of Representatives formally endorses California Assembly Joint Resolution 23, which calls for this division, and instructs the house clerk to send copies of the resolution to the New Hampshire Congressional delegation.
