Bill > HCR100

This Concurrent Resolution urges the United States Congress to call a convention, as provided for in Article V of the U.S. Constitution, for the specific purpose of proposing amendments that would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and set term limits for federal officials and members of Congress. The resolution emphasizes that this convention would be strictly limited to these topics, would not allow for any changes to the Bill of Rights, and that states would retain the sole authority to appoint their delegates, with each state having one vote. It also clarifies that Congress's role is limited to calling the convention and setting a time and place for its meeting, and that such a convention would only be convened if two-thirds of the states' legislatures apply for it. The resolution further requests a study on the potential economic impacts of federal fiscal restraints on Hawaii and mandates that certified copies be sent to various federal and state officials.
