Bill > SCR6

This Concurrent Resolution urges the United States Congress to call a convention, as provided for in Article V of the Constitution, for the specific purpose of proposing 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 emphasizes that this convention would be strictly limited to these topics, with no amendments to the Bill of Rights being considered, and that states would retain the exclusive authority to appoint delegates, with each state having one vote. It also clarifies that Congress's role is limited to setting the time and place for the convention, and that the convention would only be called if two-thirds of the states' legislatures apply for it. The resolution further suggests that any proposed amendments should be ratified by state legislatures and requests a study on the potential economic impacts of fiscal restraints on Hawaii.
