The resolution, introduced by Wills, Barker, Gustoff, Jones, Weldon, and Dunwell, calls for an Article V convention to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution aimed at limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, imposing fiscal restraints, and establishing term limits for federal officials and members of Congress. It emphasizes the role of state legislators as guardians of liberty against federal overreach and highlights concerns over national debt, unfunded federal mandates, and the federal government's deviation from constitutional principles.

The General Assembly of Iowa formally applies to the U.S. Congress for this convention, stating that the application will remain active until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar requests or until the Iowa General Assembly decides to withdraw it. The resolution mandates that certified copies be sent to various federal and state officials to ensure proper notification of this application.
