Bill Summary

General Description: This resolution makes an application to Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments to the United States Constitution.

AI Summary

This joint resolution is an application to the U.S. Congress under Article V of the Constitution to call a convention for proposing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for members of Congress. Specifically, the resolution seeks to set limits on the number of terms that can be served by members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The resolution stipulates that it should be considered alongside similar applications from other states in an effort to reach the two-thirds state threshold required to compel Congress to convene a limited convention on this specific subject. Furthermore, the resolution is declared a continuing application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have made similar applications, and it directs copies of the resolution to be sent to key congressional leaders, Utah's congressional delegation, and legislative leaders in other states, requesting their cooperation in this effort to potentially amend the Constitution through the Article V convention process.
