Bill > SR23

This resolution by the Georgia General Assembly applies to the United States Congress to call a convention under Article V of the Constitution specifically to propose an amendment that would limit the number of terms for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. The resolution emphasizes that this convention should be strictly limited to considering term limits, and it requests that Congress establish severe criminal penalties for anyone attempting to expand the convention's scope beyond this specific purpose. The application is considered a continuing request until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have made similar applications, and it is intended to be aggregated with similar applications from other states to meet the constitutional threshold for calling a convention. The resolution directs the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to key federal and state legislative officials, seeking their cooperation in advancing this term limits initiative.
