Urges Congress to repeal the Residence Act of 1790 and designate Missouri as the nation's capitol

This Missouri legislative resolution (HCR 18) urges Congress to repeal the 1790 Residence Act and designate Missouri as the U.S. capital, citing the 2020 census showing Missouri as the population center of the contiguous 48 states. It is a non-binding symbolic resolution, not a law, and does not directly affect any citizens or alter federal authority. The resolution specifically requests Congress act on this proposal and directs Missouri's legislative clerk to send a copy to U.S. congressional leaders and Missouri's delegation. It has no legal effect on the national capital's location.
