The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, introduced by Representative Workman and co-sponsored by several other representatives, seeks to apply to the United States Congress for a limited national convention. The primary purpose of this convention would be to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that establishes term limits for members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This initiative is grounded in Article V of the Constitution, which allows for such a convention upon the application of two-thirds of state legislatures.

Furthermore, the resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send authenticated copies to various federal and state officials, requesting their support for this initiative. It emphasizes that this application should be considered alongside similar applications from other states, aiming to achieve the necessary two-thirds majority to compel Congress to convene. The resolution also states that it will remain active until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications on the same subject.
