The joint resolution introduced in the Rhode Island General Assembly, SR 2724, requests a Convention of the States under Article V of the United States Constitution. The resolution aims to propose amendments that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and establish term limits for federal officials and members of Congress.

Additionally, the resolution provides a procedure for appointing commissioners to represent Rhode Island at the constitutional convention. It outlines the qualifications for commissioners, the process for their appointment and removal, and the rules governing their conduct and decision-making. An advisory committee is also established to monitor the actions of the commissioners and ensure compliance with the limits of their authority. This application is considered a continuing request until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications on the same subject.

The resolution was introduced by Senators Famiglietti, Thompson, and Burke on February 27 and has been referred to the Senate Judiciary.
