Substitute House Joint Resolution No. 49 is a resolution passed by the Connecticut General Assembly that rescinds previous applications made by the state for a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. These earlier applications, specifically Senate Joint Resolution 15 and Senate Joint Resolution 9, sought to propose amendments related to participation in a world federal government and the taxation of income by one state on residents of another state, respectively. The resolution indicates that the General Assembly no longer wishes for Congress to consider these applications.
Upon passage, the resolution mandates that the Secretary of the State transmit certified copies to various federal officials, including the Archivist of the United States and members of the Connecticut congressional delegation, with a request for the resolution to be printed in the Congressional Record. This action effectively nullifies the previous applications and communicates the state's current position on the matter.
