Which States currently require an osteopathic internship in order to practice? I tried finding it on the forum, but couldn't find a list. Thanks!

Michigan is one of them, I am not sure about the rest. (I think that Fla, WV, and Ohio require the DO intern year as well, but I'm not positive). The good thing is that they were verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry generous with exemptions through Resolution 42 last year.

What exactly is Resolution 42 and what does it do?

When in doubt, always consult the correct source for information. Don't rely on SDN otherwise you can go insane with contradictory and incorrect information.

The 5 states that require an osteopathic internship are: Florida, Michigan, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The information can be found here, on the American Osteopathic Association's website for professionals (DO-Online):

If you're a DO student or resident use that website a lot. All the information you need is in there, as accurate as it gets.
