This concurrent resolution aims to rescind House Concurrent Resolution 40, which was passed by the New Hampshire General Court on May 31, 2012. HCR 40 was an application to the U.S. Congress requesting the calling of a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The resolution expresses concerns that such a convention could lead to significant and potentially dangerous changes to the Constitution, undermining the rights of citizens and the foundational principles of government established by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution itself.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes that the Constitution has been successfully amended multiple times without the need for a convention and asserts that the existing framework adequately protects citizens' rights. It calls on other states that have made similar applications to Congress to also withdraw their requests for a convention. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of the Senate to transmit copies of this resolution to various congressional leaders and to publish it in the Congressional Record.
