Its worth pointing out that the last region to try this (the pacific) thought this was a mistake and later changed it back to a public vote.

You'll also need to repeal Article VIII of the regional constitution, I don't think a resolution will do:

I can see how that argument could be made:

1. The federal constitution overrides the regional constitution.

3. If it's in the constitution then the choice can not be made by the legislature, because it has to go through the people.
