The Ohio General Assembly has passed a resolution applying to the United States Congress for a Convention of the States under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. This convention would be specifically focused on proposing 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 against federal overreach and expresses concern over the national debt and the federal government's interpretation of the Constitution.

The resolution outlines that this application is a continuing request until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have made similar applications. It also includes specific reservations and understandings regarding the powers of Congress in relation to the convention, asserting that Congress's role is limited to calling the convention and that the states will have exclusive authority over delegate selection and voting procedures. The Ohio General Assembly has directed the Clerk of the Ohio Senate to transmit copies of this application to relevant federal and state officials to seek their cooperation.
