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 United States 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.

In addition to rescinding HCR 40, the resolution encourages other states that have made similar applications to Congress for a constitutional convention to also withdraw their requests. The New Hampshire General Court emphasizes that the Constitution has been successfully amended through established processes without the need for a convention, and it seeks to protect the integrity of the current governmental framework and the rights it secures for citizens. The resolution mandates that copies be sent to various congressional leaders and be published in the Congressional Record.
