The bill is a memorial from the Washington State Legislature petitioning the United States Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. This request is rooted in concerns about the influence of money in politics, particularly following the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which removed restrictions on independent political spending. The memorial emphasizes the need for a convention to address these issues and aims to ensure that the delegates to this convention are selected from individuals currently elected to state and local offices, while prohibiting anyone who has held federal office from serving as delegates.

The resolution expresses the intent of the Washington State Legislature to continue this application alongside similar requests from other states until two-thirds of the states have applied for such a convention. It underscores the importance of restoring the people's ability to influence their political leadership and legislative processes, which the legislature believes has been compromised by powerful economic interests. The memorial concludes with a directive to transmit copies of the resolution to key federal and state officials, including the President and members of Congress.
