The bill is a joint resolution from the Wyoming Legislature requesting Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments to the United States Constitution, as permitted under Article V. The resolution emphasizes the need for such a convention to address concerns about federal overreach, national debt, and the erosion of state authority. It specifically seeks to propose amendments that would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and establish term limits for federal officials and members of Congress.
The resolution includes several stipulations regarding the convention process, asserting that Congress's role is limited to calling the convention and that it cannot set rules or delegate authority. It specifies that each state will have one vote and that the convention will only consider the topics outlined in the resolution, explicitly excluding any amendments to the Bill of Rights. Additionally, the resolution states that it will remain in effect until two-thirds of state legislatures have made similar applications, and it directs the Secretary of State of Wyoming to communicate this resolution to various federal and state officials.
