Overview: HCR 4, "Calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to release the complete Epstein files", was filed on July 23, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The main purpose of this concurrent resolution is to urge the U.S. Department of Justice to publicly release the full set of files and records related to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.
Key Provisions:
- Calls on the U.S. Department of Justice to make public the complete Epstein files, including all documents, evidence, and investigative materials
- Expresses the state legislature's belief that the full disclosure of the Epstein files is in the public interest and necessary for transparency
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- The U.S. Department of Justice, which would be compelled to release the Epstein files if the resolution is adopted
- The general public, who would gain access to the previously undisclosed information about the Epstein case
- Individuals and entities that may be implicated or named in the Epstein files, whose privacy and reputations could be affected by the disclosure
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The concurrent resolution has been filed and is awaiting consideration by the state legislature
- If passed, the resolution would be transmitted to the U.S. Department of Justice, but it would not have the force of law to compel the release of the files
