            By Mr. GOSAR:
        H.R. 594.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       The power to regulate inter-state commerce is set forth 
     Article I, Section 8, Clause 3, the Power to ``regulate 
     commerce among the several states!' If the matter in question 
     is not a purely local matter (intra-state) or if it has an 
     impact on inter-state commerce, it falls within the 
     Congressional power to regulate interstate commerce. National 
     Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius (2012).
       Also Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2; Article 6, Clause 2; 
     and the 10th Amendment, which grants states all authority not 
     explicitly given to the federal government, pursuant to which 
     this bill seeks to return to the states authority previously 
     and erroneously claimed by the federal government.
       Finally, Article I, section 8, clause 18, that grants 
     Congress the power to make all laws necessary and proper for 
     carrying out the powers vested by Congress in the 
     Constitution of the United States or in any department or 
     officer thereof.
