SCR 4009 North Dakota Senate · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A concurrent resolution urging Congress to support admitting Washington, D.C. into the Union as a state of the United States.

SCR 4009 is a North Dakota legislative resolution urging Congress to support admitting Washington, D.C., as a state. It directly affects the approximately 700,000 residents of D.C. who currently lack voting representation in Congress and full self-governance despite paying federal taxes and serving in the military. The resolution calls on Congress to enact legislation granting D.C. statehood, aligning with previous D.C. voter approvals for statehood and the District's Home Rule Act framework. It does not create new policy but formally advocates for congressional action on D.C. statehood.
