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, specifying that the amendments sought will be exclusively focused on the aforementioned issues. The resolution is designed to remain in effect until at least two-thirds of state legislatures request a similar convention or until the Iowa General Assembly decides to withdraw the application. Additionally, the Secretary of State is tasked with transmitting certified copies of the resolution to various federal and state officials to ensure proper notification of this application.
