The Nebraska Legislature has adopted a resolution applying to Congress for the calling of a convention of states under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. This convention aims to propose amendments that would impose fiscal restraints 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 federal overreach, national debt, and unfunded mandates. It also repeals a previous application made in 2022 for a similar convention, asserting that this new application is a continuation until two-thirds of state legislatures make similar requests.

The resolution outlines specific understandings regarding the powers of Congress in relation to the convention, stating that Congress's role is limited to calling the convention and that it cannot dictate the rules, delegates, or voting procedures. It emphasizes that the convention will only consider the topics specified in the resolution and allows the Nebraska Legislature to recall its delegates if necessary. The resolution also calls for the transmission of copies to various federal and state officials to seek their cooperation in this matter.
