West Virginia Federal Constitutional Authority Clarification Act aims to nullify federal judicial decisions deemed unconstitutional or outside.

The West Virginia Federal Constitutional Authority Clarification Act seeks to protect the state's sovereignty by establishing mechanisms to review and nullify federal judicial decisions that are deemed unconstitutional or issued outside the court's geographic jurisdiction. The act creates the Joint Committee on Constitutional Review to analyze federal judicial decisions and recommend actions to the Legislature. It also empowers the Attorney General to initiate civil actions against federal entities enforcing invalid judicial dictates within West Virginia.
