The bill is a resolution from the Minnesota Legislature that calls on Congress to convene a convention of states under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be to propose amendments aimed at imposing fiscal constraints on the federal government, limiting its power and jurisdiction, and establishing 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 and overreach into state responsibilities.

Additionally, the resolution states that this application for a convention is a continuing application until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar requests on the same subject, and it supersedes any previous applications made by the Minnesota Legislature regarding this issue. The Secretary of State of Minnesota is tasked with distributing copies of the resolution to various federal and state officials to ensure that the request is formally communicated.
