The resolution SCR1011 formally applies to the U.S. Congress to call a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be to propose an amendment that limits the number of terms a person may serve in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. This action is in response to previous attempts by Arizona and other states to impose term limits on Congress members, which were invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Arizona Legislature aims to restore rotation in office for congressional members and believes that this convention is necessary to compel Congress to act on the issue.

The resolution outlines that it will remain a continuing application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have made similar applications on the same subject. It specifies that this application will be considered alongside those from other states for the purpose of meeting the two-thirds requirement needed to call the convention, but it will not be combined with applications on different subjects. Additionally, the Secretary of State of Arizona is tasked with transmitting copies of the resolution to key congressional leaders and state legislative officers to seek their cooperation in this initiative.
