In May 2003, the legislatures of Alaska and Vermont passed resolutions, and in March 2004, Maine became the fourth state. In April 2005, the Idaho Legislature unanimously passed a resolution supporting the SAFE Act to amend the USA PATRIOT Act. In May 2005, Montana passed a statewide resolution. Several other states have resolutions in progress.
