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 United States Constitution. These prior 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 Connecticut General Assembly no longer wishes for Congress to consider these applications.
Upon passage, the resolution declares that the previous applications are nullified and directs the Secretary of the State to transmit certified copies of the resolution to various federal officials, including the Archivist of the United States and members of the Connecticut congressional delegation. The resolution also requests that the full text be printed in the Congressional Record, ensuring that the rescission of these applications is officially recognized at the federal level.
