The resolution, H.J.R. No. 22, introduced by Representative Vasut, seeks to rescind the automatic rescission clause established by S.J.R. No. 38 during the 85th Texas Legislature in 2017. This clause stipulated that 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 would be automatically nullified if the convention was not called within eight years of the last legislative vote on the application. The current resolution aims to eliminate this provision, thereby allowing Texas to maintain its applications for a national convention without the risk of automatic expiration.

Furthermore, the resolution mandates that the Texas Secretary of State send official copies of this resolution 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, reinforcing Texas's position regarding its applications for a national convention.
