This joint resolution aims to rescind previous applications made by the Minnesota legislature to Congress for a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The applications in question were adopted in 1901, 1909, and 1965, addressing topics such as the popular vote election of U.S. Senators, polygamy, and apportionment, respectively. The legislature has determined that these applications no longer align with the current priorities of Minnesotans.

The resolution formally declares that the cited applications are rescinded and hold no legal effect. Additionally, it instructs the Chief Clerk of the House to prepare an authenticated copy of the resolution for transmission to key congressional leaders, including the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate, as well as to each member of Congress representing Minnesota.
