The resolution, H.J.R. No. 22, introduced by Representative Vasut, seeks to rescind a provision from S.J.R. No. 38 enacted by the 85th Texas Legislature in 2017. This provision mandated the automatic rescission of any applications made by the Texas Legislature to the United States Congress for calling a national convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution if the convention was not called within eight years of the last legislative vote on the application. The current resolution aims to nullify this automatic rescission clause, thereby allowing Texas to maintain its applications for a national convention without the risk of them being automatically voided after the specified time frame.

Furthermore, the resolution directs the Texas Secretary of State to send official copies to key federal officials, including the President, the Speaker of the House, and the Vice President, as well as to all members of the Texas congressional delegation. This action is intended to ensure that the resolution is formally recognized and entered into the Congressional Record, thereby reinforcing Texas's position regarding its applications for a national convention.
