USA:s delstatsförsamlingar

Nedan följer en lista över lagstiftande församlingar i USA:s delstater.

Varje delstat har sin egen grundlag där respektive delstatsstyre och dess lagstiftande församlings kompetenser fastställs. Dock måste dessa grundlagar stämma överens med det som påbjuds i USA:s konstitution, dvs ett republikanskt statsskick och med maktdelningsprincipen.

Med undantag för delstaten Nebraska så har samtliga delstater tvåkammarsystem som motsvarar uppdelningen i USA:s kongress med senaten och representanhuset. Namnen varierar dock, i synnerhet ifråga om samlingsnamnet och de lägre kamrarna.

Funktion och roll

Delstaternas lagstiftande församlingar har flera olika roller:

Godkännande av delstatens budget. Delstatsförsamlingen har befogenhet att godkänna den budget som föreslagits av guvernören, som beskriver delstatens utgiftsprioriteringar.
Redistricting: Delstatens lagstiftande församling är ansvarig för att dra om gränserna för distrikten till valen för USA:s representanthus efter varje decenniums federala folkräkning.
Impeachment: Delstatens lagstiftande församling har vanligen befogenhet att åtala delstatens högre ämbetsmän, inklusive guvernören och andra tjänstemän i den verkställande grenen samt delstatens domare, för tjänstefel eller maktmissbruk.
Bekräftelse av guvernörens utnämningar. Den övre kammaren i delstatens lagstiftande församling är vanligen ansvarig för att bekräfta vissa guvernörsutnämningar, inklusive ministrar och departementschefer, delstatliga domare och ledamöter i olika delstatliga styrelser och kommissioner.
Ratifikation av ändringar i USA:s konstitution: Delstatens lagstiftande församling kan ratificera föreslagna ändringar av USA:s konstitution samt ändringar av den egna delstatens konstitution.

Det finns flera saker som enbart den delstatliga lagstiftande församlingen kan göra, inklusive:

Delstatens lagstiftning: Enbart delstatens lagstiftande församling har makten att skapa och anta delstatens lagstiftning.
Ändring av delstatens konstitution: Enbart delstatens lagstiftande församling att föreslå ändringar av delstatens egna konstitution. I vissa delstater krävs även folkomröstningar.
Upphäva ett veto: Om guvernören lägger in sitt veto mot ett lagförslag, har enbart delstatens lagstiftande församling befogenhet att upphäva vetot, vanligen med två tredjedelars majoritet i varje kammare.

Sammantaget spelar delstaternas lagstiftande församlingar en viktig roll i hur delstatsstyret fungerar och har betydande befogenheter i det amerikanska statsskicket.
