(a) It is the sense of this legislature that the Congress of the United States should replace the failed “Fast Track” system of trade negotiation with a new, more democratic and inclusive model, and pass binding legislation instructing the USTR to fully and formally consult individual state legislatures regarding procurement, services, investment or any other trade agreement rules that impact state laws or authority before negotiations begin and as they develop, and to seek informed consent from state legislatures prior to binding states to conform their laws to the regulatory terms of international commercial agreements.
(b) Not later than October 1, 2007, the attorney general shall notify the USTR of the enactment of this legislation.
