The bill is a resolution from the Minnesota Legislature that calls on Congress to convene a convention of states to propose 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 against federal overreach and highlights concerns over national debt and unfunded federal mandates.
Additionally, the resolution states that it serves as a continuing application under Article V of the Constitution until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications on the same subject. It also supersedes any previous applications made by the Minnesota Legislature regarding this issue. The Secretary of State of Minnesota is tasked with preparing and transmitting copies of the resolution to various federal and state officials.
