This law will probably not pass. Even if it does, it probably will not survive a court challenge.

If they think this is important enough, there should be an amendment to the Constitution as there was to allow the district to vote for President. They're probably afraid this won't happen as this would dilute state power, which Congress already is trying to dilute as much as possible.
