Bill > S262

This bill rescinds all existing applications by the North Carolina General Assembly to Congress that were ratified before December 1, 2024, calling for a constitutional convention under Article V of the United States Constitution. Article V is the provision in the U.S. Constitution that allows states to request a convention to propose amendments to the Constitution, which can be triggered when two-thirds of state legislatures submit applications. This bill nullifies all previous such applications, whether they were for a limited convention focused on specific amendment topics or a general convention that could propose amendments on any subject. By rescinding these prior applications, the bill effectively resets North Carolina's stance on potentially triggering a constitutional convention, preventing any existing state-level requests from contributing to the two-thirds threshold needed to convene such a convention. The act becomes effective immediately upon becoming law.
