The bill is a resolution from the Minnesota Legislature that calls on Congress to convene a convention for the purpose of proposing amendments to the United States Constitution. The proposed amendments aim to impose fiscal constraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and establish term limits for federal officials and members of Congress. The resolution emphasizes the role of state legislators as guardians of liberty and expresses concern over the federal government's national debt, unfunded mandates, and deviation from the Constitution's intended interpretation.
Additionally, the resolution states that this application for a convention is a continuing application under Article V of the Constitution until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications. It also supersedes any previous applications on the same subject made by the Minnesota Legislature. The Secretary of State is tasked with disseminating copies of this memorial to various federal and state officials to ensure that the resolution is communicated effectively.
